I never set out to be a poet. I set out to survive. This book isn't just ink on pages - it's the sound of my engine when my voice wouldn't come out. It's the bite of wind on late-night rides when I couldn't sit still with my thoughts. It's the sharp edge of memories I've tucked under leather jackets and fake smiles. It's every bruise I called "nothing," every heartbreak I masked with sarcasm, and every tear I wiped away before anyone could see. I've been the safe place, the strong one, the fighter. But not without cost. Behind the armor, there are soft scars - reminders of battles I never wanted to fight. But there's steel here too - forged from pain, lit by rage, cooled by the wind I chased on open roads. These poems are pieces of me I never had the courage to say out loud. They're for the ones who feel too much and show too little. For the women who wear leather like armor and still cry in parking lots. For anyone who was ever told to be strong - and broke quietly anyway. So if you're holding this book, know this: You are not alone in your ache. You are not broken - just rebuilt differently. And sometimes, the softest hearts grow the strongest shields. This is for you. For us. For the ride. - Gia🖤 A girl with a ghosted past and gasoline in her veins.

Aceasta nu e doar o carte de poezie. Este jurnalul unei femei care a mers prin foc, asfalt, dor și tăcere - și n-a încetat să simtă. Fiecare vers e o respirație între două bătăi de inimă, un urlet în liniștea din casca unei motocicliste, o lacrimă ascunsă într-un zâmbet strâns. Cu viziera crăpată și sufletul plin nu te alintă. Nu te minte. Dar îți spune că poți să mergi mai departe, chiar dacă tremuri. Este despre iubire care doare, despre oameni care pleacă și despre curajul de a rămâne în picioare... pe două roți sau doar cu inima.

"I should do what?" "You're curious about what it would be like to be wanted by someone like me."
