You Were Never Asking for Too Much is a healing poetry collection for the ones who were called “needy,” “clingy,” or “too much.” Indie Rose writes as a reminder that your love was never excessive—only misheld by people too small to receive it.

They told you your needs were unreasonable. They made you feel like love was asking for too much.

But you were never too much—you were just asking the wrong people.

You Were Never Asking for Too Much is a collection of poetry about reclaiming your right to want, need, and be loved fully. With both tenderness and fire, Indie Rose speaks to the parts of you that shrank, silenced, or apologized for needing what every human deserves.

✨ Inside, you’ll find poems about:

• Being blamed for wanting more than breadcrumbs

• The shame of being labeled “needy” or “difficult”

• How childhood patterns taught you to mute yourself

• The pain of being told your love was too heavy

• The freedom of finally believing you are worthy of enough

This collection is both a comfort and a call-to-action: stop shrinking for those who cannot meet you, and start honoring your heart as it is.
