In Between States

This collection explores the quiet complexities of growing up—feeling too much and not enough at the same time, learning to endure without recognition, and confronting the parts of the mind that refuse to stay silent. Through reflective and unfiltered poetry, the poet examines identity, doubt, and the tension between strength and exhaustion. These poems do not offer easy answers or tidy conclusions. Instead, they offer something quieter: recognition. For anyone who has ever struggled to explain what they feel, these pages may feel familiar.
