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.

Passport Pages And Crocodile Smiles
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.

Sweaty, But Never Done
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)
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 (So You JUst Keep On Lying)
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
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
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.

The Threat Of Truth
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
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
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.

How Are You Going To Justify It?
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?
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.

What Your Betrayal Left Behind
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
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.

You Are Yesterday’s Trash (And I Took You To The Curb)
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.

An Ode To Writing
An Ode to Writing is my love letter to the craft that has shaped me, sustained me, and given me purpose. Writing isn’t just something I do—it’s the heartbeat beneath everything, the thread that weaves my thoughts into something tangible, the magic that turns fleeting ideas into something that lasts. This poem is a tribute to the power of words, to the late nights spent lost in creation, to the way a blank page feels like possibility rather than emptiness. Writing is my greatest gift, my greatest joy, and I will never stop writing.

The Gift Of The Word (Lucky Me, I Have It)
Let’s be honest—writing is not for everyone. Some people try, bless their hearts, but the words just… sit there, lifeless, like a bad haircut on a humid day. Meanwhile, I? I wield the written word like a divine right. Some people are born to run marathons, some to paint masterpieces, and some (tragically) to do their taxes on time. But me? I was chosen—anointed by the literary gods—to turn mere ink into art. The Gift of the Word (And Lucky Me, I Have It) is a completely humble and not-at-all self-absorbed reflection on the rare, almost mythical power of writing well—a power that I, of course, possess. If this poem offends, don’t blame me. Blame talent.

The Gift In My Hands
The Gift in My Hands is a love letter to my craft, to the words that have shaped my life, and to the extraordinary privilege of building a career from the thing I was born to do. Writing isn’t just a job—it’s the pulse beneath my skin, the fire in my bones, the magic that turns thought into something tangible. This poem is my gratitude made lyrical, my deep, unwavering appreciation for the mastery I’ve honed since 2011, for the worlds I’ve built, and for the truth behind every cliché—when you do what you love, it never feels like work. Writing is not just my career. It is my calling.

Screaming At The Sky While I Sign My Book Deal
Screaming at the Sky While I Sign My Book Deals is a deliciously petty, gloriously triumphant clapback to the kind of narcissist who thinks their hate has power—when in reality, I’m too busy thriving to notice their tantrums. This poem is for the ones who seethe while I succeed, who twist themselves into knots trying to rewrite history while I’m out here writing bestsellers. It’s about the ultimate revenge: not just surviving, but soaring. While they stew in their own bitterness, I am building, creating, thriving. And that? That must really burn.

The World According to You (Spoiler: No One Cares)
The World According to You (Spoiler: No One Cares) is a scathing, sarcastic farewell to the kind of narcissist who truly believes they are the gravitational force holding the universe together—when in reality, they’re just a background glitch in lives that have moved on. This poem is for the delusional, the drama-obsessed, the ones who spin their own narratives thinking repetition makes fiction true. It’s a sharp, biting, and darkly funny reminder that no one is waiting for their next act, no one is reading their script, and no one—no one—cares about their never-ending performance.

If You Want to Know (Know That You Can’t Hurt Me)
If You Want to Know (Know That You Can’t Hurt Me) is pure catharsis—years of venom spit back at the source, a blade sharpened on the relentless grind of someone else’s delusion. This is for the narcissists who think repetition makes a lie true, for the bitter, spiteful ghosts who refuse to stay buried, for the unwelcome parasites who latch onto lives that have no room for them. You are not the centre of my universe. You are not even a distant star. You are static, white noise, a meaningless flicker in a life that has outgrown you. This poem is not an invitation. It is an exorcism.
