Love lingers in the spaces we can't fill, in the silence after someone is gone, and in the memories that refuse to fade. These poems explore longing, heartache, and the quiet moments that shape us when love is lost, found, or somewhere in between.

There are mentions of self-harm, substances, and descriptions of acute emotional distress. While these topics are approached with care and honesty, they are unflinching in their reality.Complete
The Cage
A snippet of poetry from my book. These poems aren't just words, they contain raw pieces of my flesh. They carry stories of my love and the sorrow that came with it. These poems carry the weight that I've been carrying on my breasts for decades. My anxiety, frustration, pain, and the willingness to give up. This playlist will also include themes of violence, trauma, captivity, and deprivation of rights. This playlist is messy. Ranking: #14 in distressed #24 in distrust #53 in poetryComplete

The Weight We Carry
Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.
This is a book of poetry. Some are of hope and love, while some are full of the darkest parts we hide inside our hearts.
