Echoes: A Spoken Word Poem on Emotional Neglect, Unseen Pain, and Learning to Ask for Care

from Unspoken · host Kate

In this raw and resonant spoken word poem, Kate Earley gives voice to the often invisible wounds of emotional neglect. Echoes explores the silence left behind when care is never modeled, when comfort is absent, and when love must be rewritten from scratch. Through vivid imagery and embodied language, the poem asks the questions so many survivors carry: What does care sound like? What does it feel like to be remembered, to be held?This episode is for anyone who’s ever been told they were too much—for anyone learning to name their needs, speak their truth, and end the echo of silence.Trigger warning: Themes of childhood neglect, emotional abandonment, and intergenerational trauma.Copyright ©2025 Kate Earley Music: Changing Winds by Alexandra StréliskiWritten: April 22, 2025
