Look Inside (teaser poem)
I stopped waiting for your apology.
I gave one to myself instead.For believing, for bending,
for carrying too much of what was never mine.I said goodbye without hearing yours.
And it was enough.

The Goodbye I Gave Myself is a tender, empowering poetry collection about self-closure—finding peace without their apology, their explanation, or their return. Indie Rose writes for the ones who finally realized they could set themselves free.
Not every goodbye comes from the other person. Sometimes, you have to give it to yourself.
The Goodbye I Gave Myself is a bittersweet collection about writing your own ending when theirs never arrived. These poems are for the hearts that waited too long for closure from someone else—and discovered the strength to move on without it.
✨ Inside, you’ll find poems about:
Letting go without the apology you deserved
Choosing self-trust over their explanation
Turning heartbreak into quiet freedom
Releasing stories left unfinished
Soft endings that open into beginnings
Indie Rose writes with honesty and compassion, offering readers a lantern for the dark places where closure never came. This book is both a mirror and a release: a reminder that you don’t need their permission to move forward.
