Softness doesn’t protect you from pain—but it makes you real.

The Softest Parts Still Burn is a collection of poetry about scars, survival, and the defiant choice to stay open in a world that punishes tenderness. With warmth and unflinching honesty, Indie Rose writes for the ones who carry both ache and light, showing that being soft and being strong are the same thing.

✨ Inside, you’ll find poems about:

• Scars that tell your story instead of hiding it

• The fire that shaped you but didn’t destroy you

• Vulnerability as a kind of strength

• Love that hurt but didn’t break you

• Forgiveness as a healing flame

This collection is for anyone who has ever been told to “toughen up,” but chose to keep their softness anyway. It’s proof that the gentlest parts of you can survive the fire—and even glow because of it.

Look Inside (teaser poem)

My soft spots have scars,
but they are still soft.

The fire touched me,
and I am still here.

Call it weakness if you want—
but I call it proof.
