Healing & Becoming
Poetry about surviving, rebuilding, learning yourself again, and becoming someone new without pretending the bruises never happened.
-
Survival changed her enough to feel unfamiliar, but the woman in the mirror is finally someone she can recognize with pride.
-
She is not only what happened to her; she is every scar, lesson, mistake, and second chance that kept moving forward.
-
There were chapters she did not think she would survive, but the story kept turning because she did.
-
Healing does not always erase pain; sometimes it means growing large enough that the wound no longer takes up the whole life.
-
The questions changed from who will love me to what part of myself I buried, and suddenly the cards became kinder.
-
A mind displayed like art would look tragic from a distance, until someone stayed long enough to notice the survival inside every crack.
-
The work may not come with a paycheck, but every poem and page is building something real one sentence at a time.
-
Some days the poems wait while bottles, laundry, little hands, and ordinary motherhood take the whole page.
-
By noon, ordinary chaos has returned—cold coffee, dishes, children, and the small holiness of a lived-in home.
-
A five-year-old smile and a sleeping newborn become the first page of a family story no one knew would move so quickly.
