All the names I wore

In this book, the poet journeys through love that bruises and heals, silence that screams, and identities shaped by others before they’re ever chosen. These poems are stitched from real-life scars — of a woman, a daughter, a wife, a dreamer — who refuses to stay quiet in her own story. From the bittersweet surrender of arranged marriages to the aching defiance of self-acceptance, this collection explores the many masks women wear, the truths they bury, and the names they are forced — or choose — to carry. Some poems whisper. Others demand to be heard.
