The Things I Swore I’d Never Say

In this collection, you will find poems that speak to the unseen corners of the heart: the quiet ache of wanting to belong, the struggle of self-love amidst unmet expectations, and the fragile beauty of moments where understanding oneself becomes the first step toward freedom. These poems are for anyone who has ever felt alone in a crowd, who has carried the weight of empathy too deeply, or who has sought meaning in the gray spaces of life. Orion Gray invites you to witness, reflect, and perhaps, finally, meet yourself in these pages.
