A collection of short stories/poems built over the many years I spent apologizing for simply existing the way I needed to. It holds the things I was never given room to say out loud. What it cost me to keep giving, what it meant to be watched but never truly seen by family, teachers, and peers, and what it took to finally leave a place that only ever knew how to keep me small.
This isn't written for the people who hurt me, or even about the people who hurt me, but rather It's written for whoever is willing to actually listen to what i have to say, to sit with the parts that are messy, unresolved, and still healing. Listening, and reading instead of asking me to explain myself. It's just the truth, my truth, as honestly as I could tell it, a piece of myself left behind for anyone who needs to hear that surviving quietly still counts as surviving, and that leaving for better is not a weakness.
