This raw and vulnerable debut collection of poetry aims to take the reader on a healing journey. The beginning of the book addresses the author's childhood trauma, and how that immediately affected her view of the world. And what follows is an honest confrontation of that trauma in her young adult life, and a longing to trust herself again.
"for my sisterwho gives me the world
just by breathing
i love you." -poems written by a late bloomer this collection of poetry explores the complex feelings around
trauma depression sexuality love friendship and healing
i have sometimes wished people could read the thoughts
that come into my mind
because they are the truest part of me
sometimes these thoughts represent the best in me
but they can also represent the worst
and i am going to share both with you
because humans are not all good or all bad
we overwhelmingly live in the gray area
and this is what makes the human experience
so frustratingly beautiful. **Trigger Warning: for mentions of sexual assault and suicide.
