There’s paint drying somewhere in my closet. A sketchbook I stopped filling. An instrument I can still almost play. Roblox until 3am. Dancing badly. Writing songs nobody was ever going to hear. Crochet. Playing outside until the streetlights came on. Life got serious so slowly I never noticed the exact day I put all of it down. Btw, poetry book ‘Between Heaven & Earth’ is out now. It’s a collection of poems about love, heartbreak, loneliness, inner struggles, healing, and the quiet journey of understanding yourself and life along the way. If you’d like to read it, comment “Book” and I’ll send you the link. [poetry, poet, thefallenpoe.t, innerchild, forgottenhobbies, adultingishard, rememberwhoyouwere, poetrycommunity]

Thank god I replied. Thank god I said yes. Thank god I stayed a little longer than I meant to. Thank god I stopped pretending I wasn’t already falling. Thank god I let you see the parts I usually keep hidden, and told you what I was afraid of. Thank god I chose the chance of forever over the fear of being hurt. Thank god for one ordinary message that quietly rewrote my whole life. Btw, poetry book ‘Between Heaven & Earth’ is out now.

Strategy summary

What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.

TL;DR

Emotional carousel poetry on heartbreaks and recoveries dominates, with post [4] exploding to 232k likes and post [0] at 25k fueling the feed's strength. Consistent 'Btw book' CTA in 80%+ posts pulls 1k comments on hits like [19], turning engagement into sales amid 2.3M followers. Yet 2.3 posts/week leaks momentum, as low-volume lets algorithms forget the account. Relationship ideals pillar at 30% share sustains loyalty, but reposts flop at 1.8k likes [11]. Scale frequency while sharpening hooks from post [24]'s dialogue to reclaim top-of-feed dominance.

Working

5
  • Carousels crush with 10x likes over images.
  • Heartbreak narratives hit 100k+ likes routinely.
  • Book CTA generates 300-1000 comments.
  • Weekend posts average 50k+ likes.
  • Relatable wisdom lists boost shares.

Risks

5
  • Boost cadence beyond 2.3 posts/week.
  • Diversify repetitive book promo wording.
  • Drop underperforming reposts and curations.
  • Balance pillars to amplify self-empowerment share.
  • Shorten some captions under 250 chars.

Ship next

5
