This is What Surviving Feels Like

it’s a soul laid bare.

It’s for the girls who smile with cracked hearts,

for the ones who wake up every day with ghosts in their chest

and still carry on like warriors in silence.



These poems are confessions from the edge.

They speak of lost dreams, stolen joy, heavy goodbyes, and battles fought alone.

They bleed with truths no one dared to ask about

the kind that live behind fake laughs and quiet nods.



This collection is about survival.

Not the heroic kind.

The quiet, messy, breath-by-breath kind

the kind where your heart dies in pieces

but you keep walking anyway.



If you’ve ever felt invisible in a room full of people,

if you’ve ever screamed behind a smile,

if you’ve ever held yourself together when you were falling apart



then this book is for you.

This... is what surviving feels like.
