A Master Post for my Poetry
These are all the poems I have posted onto this blog thus far, with the links and a little summary for each. More will be coming and I’ll hopefully be able to update this list when I do. The mental health poems are mainly written in order of when I wrote them, so apologies if they start relatively bad. Aside very recent ones, any that are not on here can be found on my poetry blog.
Poems about gender or vague LGBT+ issues
My Flag (a poem about my gender identity and journey - it’s long)
Poems about family trauma
Hopeless Little Girl (a poem about an emotionally abusive older sibling that you want to be empathetic to, but know that things are not ok)
Untouchable (Or So I Should Be) - (a song/poem about feeling upset that those who have wronged you still have the ability to hurt/shake you)
Guilt (a poem about trauma and how to deal with the guilt of hurting others)
Poems about mental health
To Cry Out (a poem that feels like it saved my life to write during a depressive spiral as a teenager)
Fragile Dolls (a poem about living with older siblings dealing with mental health issues and feeling like it overshadows your own, but you’re scared to reach out for help out of fear of coming off as attention seeking)
Voices (a poem about the contradiction of self-talk one can get at times, possibly hinting at early signs of a bipolar disorder or a personality disorder)
I Don’t Think You Need Them (a poem about seeking mental health treatment and the stigma behind take medication for it):
Birds Are Chirping This Morning (a song I wrote to my best friend to thank him for always listening during my meltdowns and spirals):
Phoenix (a song mostly inspired about surviving a rather harsh and abusive situation I faced and fighting the desire to hurt myself and instead live on after becoming too angry to die and feeling like a Phoenix)
Poems about relationships
I’m Sorry I Need to Say Sorry (song lyrics from a recent breakup)
How Ever Will Thee Know? Sonnet (a silly poem based on my wlw LDR back in the day using Victorian analogies)
Random
Why is the Door Locked? Sonnet (a poem about suicide and the committing the act)
Ballad of Lady Shea’s Bereavement (a long poem/ballad that tells the story of the fae who lost her wings, + wlw hinted plot)
Lost the Exit (a poem inspired by Inez from Jean-Paul Satire’s No Exit)
