Meet Me in My Words:
Why I Write to You Every Morning
Every morning, I write something new — sometimes soft, sometimes sharp, always true to the feeling in me.
A gentle note, offered with love: these poems are works of fiction. They are not diaries, confessions, or evidence. They are feelings passing through language, moments being processed, emotions trying on metaphors to see what fits. If you recognise yourself in them… well. That’s between you and the poem.
When you subscribe, that day’s poem arrives in your inbox at 11:11 AM, every single day. No scrolling, no noise, no algorithms gently screaming for your attention. Just words, delivered on purpose, waiting quietly for you to meet them where you are.
And if you’d like to linger a while longer, you can meet me in my words below. 🌿
Am I So Five Minutes Ago?
Aging is one of life’s greatest betrayals. One minute, you’re effortlessly keeping up with trends, wearing skinny jeans without fear, and understanding pop culture references with ease—and the next, you’re squinting at your phone, wondering when all your favourite bands became dad rock, and hearing the words classic Taylor Swift applied to an album that came out like yesterday. Am I So Five Minutes Ago? is a humorous, slightly existential reflection on the absurdity of aging as a millennial, from stubbornly clinging to side parts and invisible socks to the creeping realization that the world has moved on without us. It’s a lighthearted, darkly funny take on the moment you realize you’re no longer the target audience, but rather, an observer—one with aching knees, deep nostalgia, and an unshakable devotion to grey home decor.
The Repatriation Of Me
Leaving one home for another is never just a journey—it is a reckoning of the heart. The Repatriation of Me is a reflection on the bittersweet reality of returning to Canada, a country I love deeply and am endlessly proud to call home, while leaving behind the chosen family that made Australia feel like home, too. It is a love letter to the wild beauty of this land—the mountains, the lakes, the endless trails where we wander with Sophie at our side. It is a celebration of new beginnings, of planting roots in a place where we can build a future, of embracing the values that shape this country we cherish. But it is also an acknowledgment of loss, of distance, of the ache that lingers when love is stretched across oceans. This poem holds the weight of both—joy and sorrow, gratitude and longing—because home is never just one place. It is the pieces we gather along the way, the love that remains no matter how far we go.
I Think I Would Have Liked Her
There are infinite versions of us—who we are, who we could have been, who we might still become. This poem is a reflection on the girl I never got to be, the one who grew up in a home filled with warmth instead of fear, with encouragement instead of absence. It is a mourning of what was lost, of what was never given, of the love that should have been unconditional but wasn’t. But more than that, it is a reckoning. A recognition that while I will never be her—the girl untouched by wounds I had to stitch myself—I have still built something whole from the broken pieces. I have fought for a life that does not mirror the one I left behind. And though I grieve for her, for the ease she would have known, I also honour the version of myself who kept going, who ran toward something better, who learned to make her own light. This is for her. And this is for me.
The Ugliest in Every Room
The Ugliest in Every Room is a powerful reclamation of self-worth in a world that too often defines value by appearances. This poem speaks to the quiet pain of being overlooked, of feeling invisible in spaces where others shine effortlessly. But more than that, it is a defiant anthem—an unshaken declaration that true strength, resilience, and beauty are forged in the fires of dismissal and doubt. It challenges the idea that worth is measured by how others perceive us, reminding us that confidence is not given—it is claimed. If you have ever felt unseen, unchosen, or out of place, this poem is for you. Click to read and step into the light of your own undeniable presence.
The Ugliest Truth
The Ugliest Truth is a fearless dive into the darkness we often refuse to acknowledge—the hidden corners of the soul where blame festers, where cruelty disguises itself as humour, where silence wounds as deeply as betrayal. This poem does not shy away from the raw, unsettling nature of human imperfection, but instead, it holds up a mirror, demanding we look. Because within that reflection—within the ugliness we fear—lies the first spark of transformation. If you've ever wrestled with your own shadows, with the weight of choices left unmade, with the quiet hope that redemption is still possible, this poem will stay with you long after the last line. Click to read and step into the light that only comes from facing the dark.
The Heart’s Collapse
The Heart’s Collapse is a raw, unflinching look at the weight of what we carry—the love we withhold, the pain we refuse to name, the masks we wear to keep the world from seeing the cracks. This poem doesn’t shy away from the quiet devastation of fear and guilt, but instead, it moves toward something deeper: the undeniable truth that facing our darkness is the only way to find the light. It’s about standing in the wreckage, stripping away the disguise, and meeting yourself—fully, honestly, unafraid. If you’ve ever struggled to own your reflection, to name the parts of yourself you’d rather leave buried, this poem is for you. Click to read and step into the beauty that begins where the breaking ends.
If I Let The World Know Me
If I Let the World Know Me is a poignant exploration of vulnerability, the quiet ache of longing to be truly seen, and the fear of shedding the masks we’ve carefully built. This poem speaks to the weight of self-preservation—the hesitation before speaking, the instinct to retreat when love reaches too close, the exhaustion of curating a version of ourselves that feels safe. It asks the haunting question: What if I stopped hiding? If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to exist without apology, to embrace your voice without fear, this poem will resonate deeply. Click to read and step into the possibility of being fully, unapologetically known.
The Mirror And The Lie
The Mirror and the Lie is a haunting, deeply personal meditation on self-perception, the relentless scrutiny of our own reflection, and the quiet war waged between who we are and who we believe we should be. This poem captures the way the mirror becomes both judge and captor, distorting reality with whispered lies of not enough. It speaks to the ache of searching for worth in glass, of longing to see ourselves through softer eyes, and of the exhausting ritual of doubt that so many know too well. If you've ever stood before a mirror and struggled to recognize the person staring back, this poem will speak to you in a way that is both raw and achingly familiar.
If I Had Been Fearless
If I Had Been Fearless is a raw and unflinching reflection on the weight of hesitation, the ache of lost time, and the haunting question of what might have been. This poem speaks to anyone who has ever held themselves back—who has whispered Who do you think you are? instead of stepping boldly into the life they wanted. It captures the quiet grief of being your own greatest cage, of looking back at the dreams left waiting, and wondering if it’s too late to claim them. If you’ve ever wrestled with self-doubt, if you’ve ever longed to be braver, to take up space without apology, this poem will stay with you long after the last line. Click to read and feel the resonance of a truth so many of us carry.

Poetry by Britt Wolfe
I publish a new poem every single morning. Or mourning. Depends on the emotional forecast. Some are tender. Some are rage in a nice outfit. All of them are my attempt to make sense of the human experience using metaphors, emotionally charged line breaks, and questionable coping mechanisms.
Let me be clear: these poems are fiction. Or feelings. Or both. Sometimes they’re exaggerated. Sometimes they’re the emotional equivalent of screaming into a throw pillow. Sometimes they’re just a vibe that got out of hand. They are not confessions. They are not journal entries. They are not cry-for-help-coded-messages. (I have actual coping strategies. And group chats.)
Poetry, for me, isn’t about answers. It’s about shouting into the abyss—but rhythmically. Some pieces will whisper, “Hey… you okay?” Others will show up uninvited, grab you by the collar, and scream, “SAME.” They’re moody, messy, and occasionally helpful—kind of like me.
You’ll find themes running through them like recurring nightmares or that one playlist you swear you’ve moved on from. Love. Grief. Identity. Joy. Ruin. It’s all here, jostling for attention like emotionally unstable toddlers on a sugar high.
Think of these poems as an ongoing conversation—one I started, overshared during, and have now awkwardly walked away from. Good luck with that.
This poem marks a deliberate turning point: not self-love declared prematurely, but self-harm consciously ended. Ceasefire frames acceptance as a strategic decision rather than an emotional breakthrough—an agreement to stop treating the self as an enemy while acknowledging that affection may come later. It holds optimism without erasing damage, offering a vision of peace that is tentative, earned, and quietly radical: the permission to exist, unfinished, without continuing the war.
