You never know the battles people are carrying.
This poem is for Cindy —
loved, respected, missed.
If this hits close to home, you’re not alone.

Episode 1: The Word That Broke the Dam
This is the beginning of a journey to put the heart on the page, to breathe easier, and to discover that "enough" isn't a goal to be reached—it's a place to begin.

New poem: Triggered
This one’s about that moment when your body reacts before your brain can catch up.
When you’re safe, but it doesn’t feel safe.
When the past shows up in the present like it never left.
If this hits, you’re not the only one.
