Things I Couldn't Say Out Loud

This is not a love story.
It's a survival story.

A raw collection of poetry that explores trauma, mental illness, queerness, grief, and healing in the quiet hours of motherhood.
Juniper Rose writes through the pain of childhood abuse, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and going no contact with family-while finding fragments of light in her son's laughter, in memory, and in the simple act of staying alive.

Told in five sections, this collection holds space for the things we carry but never say, the ghosts we outgrow, and the softness we still deserve-especially after everything.

Trigger warnings: trauma, self-harm, suicide ideation, eating disorder, abuse, grief, and recovery.
Themes: motherhood, healing, queer identity, survival, generational trauma, and hope.
