In my voice was always mine, each chapter invites readers on a journey through the intricate tapestry of human experience. These poems serve as windows into moments of joy, sorrow, resilience, and quiet triumph. The collection aims to honor the stories we all carry and the courage it takes to share them.

Through themes of love, trauma, sexuality, race, mental health, and the passage of time, this book is both deeply personal and universally resonant. 

Whether you find solace in the echoes of your own experiences or discover new perspectives in these pages, this collection reminds you that your voice—raw, resilient, and unapologetically yours—has always been enough.
