Hello World!

⚠️ Content Warning & Author Note

This piece is an emotional expression.

It’s not for everyone and that’s okay.

Some art is soft.

Some art is survival.

This is mine.

💔 What You Should Know

This chapbook explores:

• Psychological trauma

• Grief, heartbreak, and emotional unraveling

• Violence, vengeance, and poetic metaphor

• System-based narrative (DID-inspired voice structure)

• Fictionalized death & betrayal

This is not literal.

It’s an artistic purge — not a threat, confession, or cry for help.

🖤 Why I Wrote This

I’m on a healing journey,

but healing isn’t always gentle.

Sometimes it’s jagged, angry, and loud.

Sometimes it means writing what you can’t say aloud.

This was how I removed someone from my story — not in reality, but in metaphor.

I’ve spent too much time shrinking my pain for other people’s comfort.

This time, I’m letting it speak.

✍️ For the Record

I’m a novice writer —

this is new to me.

So if this isn’t your kind of piece, that’s totally fine.

But if you read it, please respect the intent:

It’s expressive art. It’s a release.

No hate needed. No explanation owed.

Comments are open but if it gets too heavy, I’ll disable them.

Take care of yourself as you read. And if this isn’t for you, it’s okay to walk away.
