Velvet and Shards (A Poetry Collection)

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Velvet & Shards is a visceral descent into the heart of Borderline Personality Disorder. I explore the jagged reality of a life lived at the extremes, where every emotion is a storm and every silence a weight. Through raw and haunting verse, these poems navigate the thin line between the softness of longing and the sharp edges of survival. This collection is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of emotional chaos. It is written for the survivors, the feelers, and those who find beauty within the fragments. In these pages, the void is not just an ending, but a place to finally speak the truth.

Aftershock

It shook my earth

And made it crack

I thought I was safe then

but now it is back.


The earthquake hit me

hard and strong

I fell on my knees

everything felt so wrong.


The ache is there

of a loss greater than any win

a shadow of someone

wearing a narcissist's skin.


Two steps forward

one step back

it is some kind of progress

but I am still under attack.


While the shaking is gone

and emotions are back under lock

the ground is again trembling

I think it is an aftershock.
