This book is poetry about the moments before everything falls apart.
The thoughts that keep you awake at night.
The love that hurts more than it heals.
The way your mind can become both your safest place and your greatest enemy.
Told through deeply personal poems, 'Before the Breaking' follows the quiet unraveling of a girl learning how to survive the weight of her own thoughts. Her story is personal, but echos the feelings of many. Because somewhere between the cracks, the hurt, and the healing, we all learn what it means to keep going.
