Getting Older

Growing up isn't just about getting taller; it's about surviving the blinding fog of youth and the shadows of words meant to keep us small. This poetry collection explores the "blinding and frightening" experience of navigating hurt, hormones, and the search for safety. Through raw reflections on childhood innocence and the sting of old wounds, these poems serve as a reminder that you aren't alone in your head. It is a journey of turning on the light, taking accountability, and finally learning how to live.
