From Lainey's upcoming book, Light Doesn't Break, this new original lyrical poem is Chapter 11- This is the New Okay. It's inspired by a well-intended conversation while going through the struggles of the grief journey.

Same Day, Different Year is the opening chapter of my book Light Doesn’t Break… written for anyone grieving someone the world thinks you should’ve “moved on” from.
This piece is about living with loss, surviving the anniversaries, and carrying love that doesn’t fade with time. Healing doesn’t always mean forgetting. Sometimes it means learning how to keep going while remembering.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same moment while life kept moving, this is for you.

“Fear in Me” is Chapter 22 from my upcoming lyrical poetry book Light Doesn’t Break… a journey through healing, hope, and the shadows we learn to live with. This lyrical video brings the words to life with emotion and reflection.
If you’ve ever battled your own fears or found light in dark places, this poem is for you. 💫
From my new upcoming book: Light Doesn’t Break by Lainey’s Light
Sometimes life breaks you in ways no one sees.
This original poem is for anyone holding old memories in shoeboxes, trying to piece together who they used to be, and learning that healing isn’t about putting everything back the way it was… it’s about creating something new with what remains.
In this poem, I write about:
✨ grief that arrives quietly
✨ losing versions of yourself
✨ the courage to let old dreams fall apart
✨ rising different, not perfect
✨ building a new life from what’s left inside
If this reached you, you’re not alone.
And if you know someone who’s rebuilding, share this with them. ❤️🩹
Thank you for supporting my poetry and this chapter of healing.

This original lyrical poem explores the quiet, internal battles… grief that dissolves your edges, shadows that feel endless, memories that ache, and the soft glimmers of light that guide you back to yourself. Through haunting, ethereal imagery, the lyrics reveal what it means to lose everything you thought you were… and discover the strength that was waiting underneath it all.
Rooted in emotional honesty, this piece merges poetry and melody to honor the truth that healing brings balance to a broken world—and that sometimes the most powerful transformation happens in silence.
This is for:
• survivors
• dreamers
• the quietly hurting
• the quietly rising
• anyone who has ever rebuilt themselves in the dark.
People say time heals everything… but sometimes time just teaches you how to hide the hurt.
This poem was intended for my book Light Doesn’t Break but didn’t make the cut. It’s a reminder that not all wounds fade, some simply learn to live beneath the surface.
If you’ve ever felt like healing took longer than people promised… this is for you.
I wrote this for anyone carrying quiet pain, delayed grief, or memories that still echo.
You’re not alone, and you’re not “behind.” Healing isn’t linear… it’s human.

Second Chances
By Lainey’s Light
“Second Chances” is a soulful reflection on renewal, courage, and self-discovery. It captures the moment you stop accepting what’s handed to you and start creating your own path. With hauntingly honest lyrics and cinematic emotion, the song reminds us that healing isn’t about going back… it’s about moving forward with heart, faith, and hope.
✨ Because sometimes, the greatest risk you’ll ever take… is believing in yourself again. ✨
“We’re Unconditional” is an original poem from my blog, Lainey’s Light.
www.LaineysLight.com or www.LaineysLight.wordpress.com
It’s a reflection on love without limits, trust without fear, and connection that doesn’t fade.
I hope this lyrical video makes you smile.
If you’ve ever felt a bond that goes beyond reason… this poem is for you. 💜 ✨

What happens when you love someone who can’t get past their pain?
“The Hardest Part” is a raw, lyrical poem about loving someone who is lost in their suffering, hid knives behind a smile, and chose darkness over truth. It explores emotional abandonment, self-sabotage, and the quiet devastation of realizing that love cannot save someone who refuses the light.
This poem is for anyone who:
• Loved someone battling unseen demons
• Confused pain with depth and destruction with honesty
• Tried to heal someone who wouldn’t heal themselves
• Learned that leaving was the most painful—and necessary—act of love
Written by Lainey’s Light, The Hardest Part is a meditation on grief, toxic attachment, emotional survival, and reclaiming yourself after loving someone who loved the dark more than you.
