Art of Letting Go
" Let your heart grief, It's okay. It will heal eventually." Art of Letting Go captures the raw and authentic emotions of moments, a roller-coaster of feelings, and a definition of life to choose not to give up. This book was to give people a chance to relate themselves to the pages and dip themselves with emotions that involve grief, loss, heartache, abuse, and feeling lost in life. A glimpse of these pages may change someone's life by giving them purpose of hope and shed light in the darkest of their hearts. I wrote the "Art of Letting Go" about 3 years ago without an end because I never knew how to moved on from a chapter that felt like a never-ending cycle. I left the story feeling like it was untold. I found hope and my transfiguration in life to help others in search of the light again. In the experiences, challenges, and struggles that I faced over the years, I had to give this book an ending it deserved. We deserve closure, we deserve our voices and stories to be heard and to be told. After 3 years, I came back to finish a story that needed to be closed and a chapter in my life that needed to heal. I realized that I struggled to finish this because there were parts of myself that couldn't heal from the past. I struggled to break free from the pain and it always kept coming back. I was really lost at some point in life and I came back to re-reading my poems and reflected in them. I found pieces of myself, teaching me that I was already in the process of healing all along. I was fighting all this time. I was resilient from all the storms that I've endured. My point is, YOU are too. Whatever you are going through, your storms will wither away and you will find your ray of light again.Complete
Life as it is
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.Complete

The voice within these pages does not seek perfection-it seeks truth. From grief to healing, from silence to scream, from despair to defiance-this is a story of being broken open and reborn.
