When Words Don't Reach: Poems from a Restless Teenager (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798313823393)

When Words Don't Reach: Poems from a Restless Teenager is a collection of poetry by Scarlett Lily, a 13-year-old writer who turns late-night thoughts into powerful words. Written after long days of school, friendships, expectations, and overthinking just about everything, these poems capture the emotions that don't always come out in conversation-but flow freely on the page.

With a mix of introspection, humor, frustration, and raw honesty, Scarlett explores what it means to grow up in a world that doesn't always make sense. From the weight of ambition to the fear of failure, from questioning authority to questioning herself, her words reflect the highs and lows of navigating life as a teenager.

For readers who love poetry that captures the real, unfiltered thoughts of growing up-like the personal reflections of Rupi Kaur, the emotional honesty of Nikita Gill, or the inspiring voice of Amanda Gorman-this collection offers a glimpse into the restless mind of a teenager trying to make sense of it all.

Because sometimes, when words don't reach, poetry does.
