Pain Into Power... 🫶🏾🍬🫶🏾🍭
~~2026 Inspirational Mini-Poem~~
Immediately channeling my pain into compassion-fueled power...

Sweetness is exponentially more potent than sour...

Say It Plainly Challenge Winners
A pattern showed up pretty quickly reading this shortlist: these poems don’t circle what they’re about. They just say it. That makes for some tough, raw reads. Miscarriage, infidelity, chronic pain, money, addiction, fear for someone you love. Not much is softened or dressed up. By the end, I felt like I needed a cigarette, and I don’t even smoke.
