Life isn’t always linear, and neither are our emotions. In fact, often our messiest selves create the most moving pieces of art and literature.
Whether you are feeling high, low, angry or confused, these short poems offer a glimpse into everything in between.
I hope this collection inspires you to embrace all that is you, and all that you feel. Allow yourself to ride the waves of emotion and see what they reveal.

1. Messy Human – Jadine Lydia
today, i am falling apart
and falling together –
simultaneously.
you could say,
i am one beautiful mess.

2. Until I Thought of Myself As the Sea - Hannah Rosenberg
3. Tug of War – Jadine Lydia
i push myself
into states of insanity
only to relinquish myself
into states of serenity,
oh the irony,
of all this calamity.

going to explode
into a million fractals

along the way.

7. Locomotion – Jadine Lydia
it hits me, a wave
of uncontrollable emotion
and the only thing i can do
is surrender to its notions;
this is the game of love –
riding waves of locomotion.
extract from – Simple Truths
8. Precipice – Jadine Lydia
i fall beneath the cracks
of loneliness and liberation
where one small step
could either make it
or break it all.
extract from – Simple Truths
9. The Prequel to Joy - Juliana Henderson Crespo
10. Vital Expression – Jadine Lydia
it thunders through me,
a roar of emotion
begging to be tamed;
lighting strikes, heaven bites
and the downpour begins again.
extract from – Simple Truths
11. Paradox – Jadine Lydia
balancing the paradox
feels like i am juggling
the complexities of life;
circling emotions
in an erratic pattern –
hoping one day,
it will all make sense.
extract from – Simple Truths
