Luck was never on my side, but after years of enduring trauma and battling my own mind, I finally found the strength to fight for a life worth living. Through poetry, I began to express and process my feelings, and over time, my life shifted from one of quiet acceptance to one no longer willing to endure. These are some of my innermost thoughts and feelings from that journey, and I hope that in reading this, you find the courage to speak up for the things that matter and fight for the life you deserve.
