Greedy Dragons by Maryah

Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She isn’t a princess, but she would often pretend that she is. Prancing around her tower in her dresses and plastic heels with big pink jewelry decorating her arms and neck. Little did she know, she was about to become a real princess. In other stories, […]

It Doesn’t Get Better by Raven

OneI remember writing late at night Scared of sleeping, etching another“It’ll be okay” onto a blank pageAnother heartfelt “We’ll get through this.”While starting at my own hands, disconnected“What does breathing feel like?” Unaware of the own rise and fall of my chest“What does a bed feel like?”Because right now I feel as if I’m floating “Who am I?”Because […]

The Assignment by Asha Lightbearer

This poem was an assignment that I received during a meditation in my Lightbearer’s Garden healing & alchemy community. It doesn’t look like much, but it was a poignant experience, reminding me that things are not always as they appear. Sometimes something extraordinary can be found in the most unlikely place.

Hold Me Safe by Danica Alison

Hold Me SafeIn my arms, I let her settle,Felt her heart, so small, so tired.Every breath she took, she sank into my soul,Her turmoil swirled within, a storm untamed. “What do you need?” I asked, as she held me tight,“Love, safety, to be held,” she whispered, soft and light,“Please hold me. Don’t leave me,” her voice, […]

Childhood Lies by Raven

From the Author:Hopefully you enjoy this piece. I wrote this back in 2020 and published it on WCA Amino.

Moonshine by Rebecca Rojas

With so many thoughts running through my mind I’m a bit lost a bit confused a bit pained a bit sad for life gives you many challenges you fight battles no one knows about as hidden truth behind closed doors that really can take a toll on you and just as at the edge of losing all hope I take a glimpse up in the sky

The Journey by Danica Alison

In the depths of the soul, where shadows dance,
Echoes of pain and whispers of chance.
There lies a journey, both dark and bright,
Where healing blooms from the depths of night.

Through winding paths of sorrow and strife,
Emerges the essence, the essence of life.
In the silence, where whispers reside,
Compassion grows, a gentle

It’s OK to not be OK by Mike Chapman

This poem is from March 2024. I was attending a leaders retreat in Florida for the leadership of Husband Material (faith-based ministry to help men dealing with porn addiction and other sexual brokenness issues), men I all love and trust. However, I got severely triggered on the final evening at dinner. I ended up writing […]

I Want to Tell You by Terri Lanahan

I Want to Tell you I want to tell you what happened to me.I want to tell you about when I was three.He said he wanted to play with me.And oh how he played tricks on me.He told me lies.Neglected my cries.He touched me in ways that didn’t feel right.In the darkness of the night.Then […]

Happy Mother’s Day by Yvette Verini

I hope you are healing in heaven.
But now, as a mother myself, I understand that you were far from what a mother is meant to be.

Despite it all, I want to thank you for all the lessons you have taught me.

You taught me to be weak, but I learnt to be strong
You taught me how to lie, but I learnt to tell the truth; there are some secrets
