Trauma Warning: Poems of Survival
A companion for anyone who has lived through the unspeakable.
This illustrated chapbook of poems journeys through the jagged terrain of trauma, where memory sharpens, grief pulses, and survival becomes its own form of art.
Each poem holds a fragment of truth; each image reflects what words cannot always carry alone.
Here, there is no judgment.
Only permission to feel.
Author’s Note
When wounds refuse to close, we learn to breathe through them.
We scatter petals across our scars and let them bloom with our light and tears.
