Sometimes you need words for what you’re carrying.

For grief. For love. For the person you miss. For the prayer you’re still waiting on. For the words you want to give someone but don't know how to say.

Find the poem that sounds like your heart—and keep it close.

Original poetry by Ru Street, framed as keepsakes for the moments and people you don't want to forget.

I began writing as a child, putting pain, prayer, love and hope into words when I couldn't always say them aloud. I relate deeply to the honesty of David's Psalms—the way sorrow, questions, praise and faith can exist on the same page.

God Gifted Co. is my act of obedience: sharing what God gave me in hopes that the words that carried me might meet you where you are.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PAIN

What happens when you survive what happened to you—but your mind and body are still trying to understand that you survived it?

The Truth About Pain is an autobiography told through my life and the poetry that unknowingly documented it alongside me—from childhood trauma and being deprived of human love, to the ways those wounds followed me into adulthood.

This isn't a story about everything being fixed. It's about finally recognizing what I've been carrying, coming up for air, and holding onto God so I don't drown.

If you've ever survived the past only to find yourself still living through its effects, you may find yourself somewhere in these pages.
