This poem is for my sister—the one I left behind when I ran. I didn’t mean to leave her. I was running from pain, from damage, from a past that threatened to drown me if I didn’t break free. But in saving myself, I also abandoned the people who loved me most. It took me years to return, to find the courage to reach out, to ask if there was still space for me in her life. Her forgiveness was a gift I can never repay—only honour, with love and presence and truth. This poem is my heart laid bare. It’s the apology I’ve carried for too long, and the gratitude that spills over every time I remember what it means to be welcomed home. 💚

This poem is a declaration—for every person who has fought to outgrow the limitations of their upbringing, only to be met with resentment instead of recognition. It’s for those of us who have had to claw our way out of generational dysfunction, who have risen not in spite of where we came from, but because we refused to stay there. They Will Not Hold Me Here is both a condemnation and a liberation. It’s a reminder that we are not defined by the people who couldn’t love us well. That our success, our joy, and our unapologetic voices are not betrayals—they are revolutions. And when we rise, we don’t rise alone. 💚

This poem is an ode to the kind of love that doesn’t shout, but shows up—in flour-dusted countertops, in buttery dough pressed into stars and hearts, in the quiet patience of a mother guiding tiny hands. My mother’s shortbreads weren’t just cookies. They were her way of loving out loud without ever needing to raise her voice. What began as a gift for one became a tradition that wrapped around our family like warmth in winter. Even now, long after I lost her original recipe, I carry the essence of those moments with me—each stolen bite of dough, each Christmas spent baking, a memory etched into my bones. This poem is for her. For the sweetness she stirred into my childhood. And for the little ones I now hold close, so they’ll always know that love is in the doing, in the giving, in the small, sacred acts we pass down. 💚

This poem is a tribute to my mother—her quiet care, her unseen sacrifices, and the way love can be folded into something as simple as a jar of homemade apple butter. It’s about the sweetness of being known and chosen, even in small ways, and the ache of watching that light dim under the weight of belittlement and misogyny. As I grow older, I find myself revisiting these memories with fresh eyes, wishing I had understood then what I know now. This poem holds my gratitude, my regret, and my hope that she felt my love, even when I didn’t yet have the words. 💚

This one’s for the girls who were born loud, bold, and unafraid—even when the world tried to hush them. Feminist by Birthright is a joyful, defiant anthem for every woman who didn’t become a feminist, but always was one—before she had the words for it, before she even knew why the rules felt so wrong. This poem celebrates inherited fire, unshakable power, and the unbreakable rhythm of rising, again and again, with joy in our hearts and steel in our spines. It's for the ones who lead, love, cry, rage, build, and blaze—all on their own terms. Because we weren't given a seat at the table. We built our own. 💚

There’s something sacred about building a life with your own two hands. The kind of life that doesn’t just happen, but is carved from intention, sweat, vision, and relentless love. When the Work Is Worth It is a poem for the builders—for the ones who rise early, stay late, and pour every ounce of themselves into something bigger. It’s for the women who dream in blueprints and believe in effort, for the partners who create together, for the families who lay foundations in laughter and legacy. This poem is a celebration of the bruises, the breakthroughs, the beauty in the blisters. Because when it’s done with love? The work isn’t just worth it—it’s everything.

There are places that leave their mark—not just on your passport, but on your soul. Passport Pages and Crocodile Smiles is a love letter to every wild, wonderful adventure that has shaped me. It’s for the saltwater days, the rainforest stumbles, the ancient animals with knowing eyes, and the man who held my hand through every one of them. This poem is for the ink-stamped proof that we were there—in love, in awe, in motion. It’s for the laughter that echoes across oceans, the vows spoken in sea breeze, and the thunderstorm flights that led us safely home. These aren’t just trips. They’re chapters. And this poem is the story they wrote in my heart.

There’s a kind of strength that isn’t loud. It doesn’t flex or posture—it just shows up, day after day, in the early mornings, in the aching hands, in the quiet determination to keep going even when no one’s watching. Sweaty But Never Done is a love letter to that kind of woman. To the builders and dreamers, the mothers and makers, the ones who carry the weight of it all and still find a way to move forward. This poem is a tribute to relentless spirit, to hustle with heart, to the beauty of doing the hard thing because it matters. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present. Tired, yes. Sweaty, always. But never, ever done.

Life Moves On (And So Did I) is a quiet but devastating rejection of a narcissist’s last, desperate hope—that they still hold space in my life, that their presence lingers, that their name carries weight. But the truth is simple: they are nothing to me. This poem is not about anger or even closure—it’s about the sheer, undeniable irrelevance of someone who once believed themselves to be permanent. Time has erased them, memory has abandoned them, and I have stepped forward into a life where they do not exist. Because in the end, the greatest insult to a narcissist isn’t hatred—it’s indifference.

Truth is Stubborn, But You Just Keep Lying is a merciless takedown of the narcissist’s favourite pastime—revisionist history. This poem is for the ones who twist reality to fit their narrative, who rewrite their own sins, who preach their fiction with the desperation of someone terrified of the truth. But truth? Truth does not bend. It does not soften. It does not kneel before liars no matter how many times they repeat their falsehoods. This poem is a hammer striking down their illusions, a reminder that no matter how they distort the past, the facts remain, and the truth will always outlast the lie.

The Art of Not Caring" is a masterclass in dismissal—a guide to reducing a narcissist to exactly what they fear the most: nothing. This poem is not about rage, not about revenge, but about the effortless ease of indifference. It is the sound of a door closing without a second glance, the weightlessness of moving on, the realization that even hate is too much effort to spend on someone so irrelevant. Narcissists crave attention, even if it’s negative, but the real power lies in not thinking about them at all. And that? That is the art I have perfected.

My Every Win is a Loss for You" is a beautifully petty, triumphant declaration that my success isn’t just mine—it’s the narcissistic abuser’s worst nightmare. Every goal I achieve, every milestone I reach, every single time I rise—it’s a direct contradiction to the lies they told themselves. They swore I’d fail, they waited for me to crumble, but instead, I soared beyond them. And now? Every win of mine is another loss for them, another reminder that they bet on the wrong outcome. The best revenge isn’t anger—it’s living so well that it destroys them.

This poem is not a threat. It is a reminder. A quiet knock on the door of a story built on lies, performance, and omission. The Threat of Truth was written for the moments when truth stands taller than any courtroom testimony—when it does not need to be loud to be lethal. It exists for the person who is terrified not of confrontation, but of exposure. Because the most dangerous thing in any room is not the one who was lied about—it’s the truth itself. And the truth? It’s coming. Steady. Unflinching. And it remembers everything.

I Don’t Hate You, I Just Don’t Think About You is the ultimate rejection of a narcissist’s existence—the final, unshakable proof that they no longer hold a single thread of power. This poem isn’t about anger, or grief, or even closure. It’s about complete and utter indifference. There is no longing, no resentment, no second chances—just the quiet, undeniable fact that they are nothing. No space in my mind, no weight in my heart, no presence in my world. They wanted to be unforgettable, but the truth is crueler than any revenge—I forgot them.

Thriving Without Your Toxicity is a testament to the undeniable, unstoppable power of moving on. It’s about what happens when you finally cut the chains, walk away, and realize that the weight you carried wasn’t yours to bear. This poem is for those who were told they would fail without their abuser’s control, for those who were made to believe they couldn’t stand on their own—only to find out that life is so much bigger, brighter, and more beautiful without them. It is a celebration of freedom, success, and the undeniable proof that we do not just survive narcissists—we thrive in their absence.

This poem was written in a moment of clarity—raw, righteous, and long overdue. It is a letter of reckoning addressed to an unnamed group who cloaked harm in concern, rewrote narratives to protect themselves, and partnered with cruelty under the guise of care. How Are You Going to Justify It? is not a question. It’s an indictment. A mirror held up to those who twisted the truth, weaponized diagnoses, and left devastation in their wake while pretending their hands were clean. It is a reminder that silence doesn’t equal amnesia, and that accountability—though long delayed—will come. This is what it sounds like when someone refuses to be gaslit into forgetting. This is what it means to remember everything.

Kay, But Where Were You ? is a scathing indictment of performative care—the kind of empty, self-serving loyalty that only shows up when there’s an audience. This poem calls out those who rewrite history to cast themselves as the hero, despite their absence when it truly mattered. It’s a rally cry for truth, a voice for the ones who were actually there, and a brutal reminder that showing up after the fact doesn’t erase all the times you didn’t. At its core, this is a poem about calling out the silence, the deflection, and the lies that try to replace presence with performance.

Some betrayals don’t just break trust—they erase entire histories. What Your Betrayal Left Behind is a raw, unflinching meditation on what it means to be rewritten, removed, and replaced by someone who never hesitated to carve out their own version of the truth. This poem explores the slow unraveling of identity in the aftermath of deception, the haunting weight of exclusion, and the silent, searing injustice of watching someone else walk away unscathed. With sharp, visceral imagery, it captures the ache of erasure and the quiet, defiant strength of remembering.

The Betrayal Wore Your Face is a haunting exploration of trust shattered, of bonds broken with a smile. This poem captures the slow unraveling of loyalty, the sting of deception disguised as friendship, and the quiet devastation of realizing that some of the deepest wounds are inflicted by those we once held close. With striking imagery and raw emotion, it delves into the weight of betrayal—the way it lingers, reshapes us, and forces us to question what was ever real. Read on, if you dare, and step into the echoes of a trust that was never meant to last.

Sometimes, the best revenge isn’t anger—it’s indifference. You’re Yesterday’s Trash (And I Took You to the Curb) is a triumphant, no-nonsense anthem about finally recognizing when someone is no longer worth your time, energy, or emotional real estate. With biting wit and unapologetic confidence, this poem celebrates the moment you stop making excuses, stop handing out free passes, and start walking toward the love, loyalty, and friendships you truly deserve. Because the best kind of closure? Realizing you’ve already moved on while they’re still stuck being them.
