In my Poetry

"In My Poetry" is a haunting and hopeful coming-of-age young adult novel told in raw, lyrical verse about emotional trauma, inherited brilliance, and the redemptive power of language. For anyone who's ever felt the weight of silence or the ache of belonging, this is a journey of pain and possibility. Will Shariece find the strength to rewrite her story and redefine love, or will she succumb to the echoes of a troubled legacy? 

My truth, my scars, my joy-
Burned alive.
Gone.

Like my voice.

Like my parents.

Like me.

My existence vanished
with every breath she stole. 

Some stories break us.

Others rewrite us.
