BETWEEN THE HEAVENS AND EARTH

By Forbidden Poet

Between the Heavens and Earth is a deeply personal poetry collection about what it means to lose parts of yourself-and slowly learn how to reclaim them.

Moving through childhood wounds, fractured relationships, grief, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, love, heartbreak, boundaries, identity and healing, these poems trace the difficult journey from surviving what hurt you to understanding what must change within you.

This is not a collection that romanticizes pain or offers easy answers. It explores the weight of giving too much, the loneliness of being misunderstood, the exhaustion of constantly trying to understand those who hurt you and the quiet moment when self-preservation finally becomes more important than being accepted.

Some poems confront the past. Others sit inside the aftermath. Some speak to the people we loved, the people we lost and the versions of ourselves we had to leave behind. Together, they explore the complicated space between forgiveness and distance, empathy and exhaustion, love and self-abandonment, grief and acceptance.

At its heart, Between the Heavens and Earth is about the fall and rise of the soul.

It is about discovering that healing does not always arrive as happiness. Sometimes it looks like setting a boundary without explaining it. Walking away without revenge. Allowing someone to misunderstand you. Realizing an apology means little without change. Waking up one morning and noticing that what once consumed you no longer controls the entire day.

For anyone who has ever felt lost inside their own life, loved until they had nothing left to give or wondered whether they would ever feel like themselves again, these pages offer a place to pause, reflect and remember:

You can carry what happened to you without allowing it to decide where you go next.

A raw, reflective journey through loss, identity, love, survival and the quiet courage it takes to find yourself again.
