Summary

This is a poetry collection exploring themes of mental health struggle, loss, trauma, survival through instability, alongside themes of healing through healthy love, motherhood, spirituality, and rediscovering one's purpose through the use of voice. Through a mythical and philosophical lens, each piece traces the emotional space between breaking and becoming, using nature and somatic experience as a reflective tool for self-understanding and empowerment. Written in narrative, lyric, and free verse confessional modern poetry styles, this collection blends emotional storytelling with introspective reflection.
