Trying

She doesn't talk about it
not out loud.
Not the childhood stolen behind closed doors.
Not the nights that blurred into silence.
Not the years of shame, of pain, of pretending to be okay.
But on the page?
She tells the truth.
In this deeply personal and soul baring collection, a young woman traces her path through a lifetime of abuse, betrayal, and grief-and the quiet, aching journey of healing that follows. Through poetry, she unearths the stories she's never spoken aloud, giving voice to the trauma that shaped her, and the strength that's carried her through.
Each poem is a heartbeat.
A scar.
A step forward.
Sometimes backwards.
But always hers.
Living. Breaking. Surviving. Healing.
This is not just her story.
It's the story of anyone who's ever felt broken, unseen, or unheard
and still chose to write themselves into the light.
