I dedicate this book to my 11-year-old self. As a survivor of ritualized mental cruelty and sexual abuse, I have always found solace in the rhythm of my words. In this book of poems, Resilience, I weave dark tales of resilience, a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
From the whispered prayers of a child to the triumphant screams of an adult, these poems explore the strength that lies within each of us. I bear witness to the resilience of the mind, the body, and the spirit, facing life's inevitable setbacks and emerging stronger than ever.
The poems of Resilience cover the following universal themes:
Friendship
Love
Death
Life
Self-Discovery
Hope
Corruption & Power
Loss & Grief
Sex
Mortality
Loneliness
Justice & Injustice
Resilience is not simply a passive acceptance of hardship. It is the determination to rise above adversity, to find meaning amid chaos, and to embrace the journey as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
