Poetry gives you a voice when words feel heavy, offering a place to pour your thoughts, emotions, and dreams onto the page. It doesn’t require fancy language, only honesty. For many women, poetry becomes a lifeline during heartbreak, loss, or life’s turning points, a safe container where unspoken emotions can finally rest. 

Poetry is raw and real. Within it, you can feel the pain, the joy, the hatred, the power in the words. It puts you in certain places and times. It gives you a glimpse into someone’s moment. A moment when time stood still enough to evoke emotions that needed to be released. 

When life hurts, many of us instinctively reach for words. We scribble in journals, underline lines in a book, or whisper verses from songs that seem to hold our pain. Poetry has long been a companion to suffering, giving shape to emotions too heavy to carry in silence. But why do we turn to poetry in times of pain?

Writing gives you authorship over your experience. You can reclaim the narrative, even if the events stay the same. You’re not just the character, you’re the narrator now. That shift is powerful. 

Have you ever had a moment where something inside you whispered, Don’t do that , but you did it anyway? Or felt a subtle nudge to speak...

These writing prompts aren’t here to fix you. They’re here to reveal you. To open a space for honesty, softness, and clarity. To meet yourself where you are, one word at a time.

By sharing your truth, you’re permitting them to own their own. You’re giving them the freedom to be vulnerable, to be imperfect, and to embrace their journey, however messy or uncertain it may be.

That wasthehardest part. Pretending that something didn't happen while also believing that EVERYONE could see it written all over me.

Because that's what we do. Sacrifice ourselves.
