“On a piece of paper I wrote the names of those I once loved. I folded it into a paper boat and I set it on fire. I placed it on that glorious river to be carried far, far away.”
Love stories, cries of help, confessions in the dark—these poems have been my safe place for the past five years. As I have navigated loss, growing up, messing up, and finding home within myself again, these poems have saved me from the idea that all my shortcomings, failures, and mistakes are bad. Instead, these poems have demanded I shout, with my entire chest and heart lifted up, that I am good.
Let these poems speak to you and say that every twisting turn, every detour, and every lesson learned is not just a footnote of your story to redemption—it is proof that you have already arrived.
A collection of 35 poems, and reflective prose sharing my journey from healing from heartbreak, growing up and finding myself.
