Pieces of a Restless Soul

# Pieces of a Restless Soul

### *Poems for everyone who is still becoming.*

We all carry pieces of ourselves that nobody sees.

The child we used to be.
The person we pretend to be.
The dreams we are afraid to chase.
The people who once felt like home.
The goodbyes we never dared to say.
And the version of ourselves we are still trying to become.

*Pieces of a Restless Soul* is a collection of poems about the beautiful, confusing, painful, and hopeful experience of being human.

These pages wander through memories, loneliness, identity, love, loss, self-worth, dreams, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.

Some poems may remind you of someone you once knew.

Some may remind you of a version of yourself you thought you had forgotten.

And perhaps, somewhere between these words, you may discover something you didn't know you needed-

a feeling you couldn't explain,

a goodbye you never said,

a dream you almost buried,

or a small reminder that you are still becoming.

This is not a story about someone who has everything figured out.

It is a collection for those who are still searching.

Still healing.

Still dreaming.

Still becoming.

Perhaps these poems are pieces of my soul.

But maybe, just maybe,

you will find a piece of yours here too.
