Things to hold on to. Things to let go of.

This book of poetry is a real and honest exploration of life’s hardest truths and deepest hopes. It captures the tension between holding on and letting go, between pain and healing, between who we were and who we are becoming. With a voice that is both vulnerable and unflinching, these poems confront grief, addiction, change, forgiveness, and resilience—transforming personal struggles into universal reflections. Each piece is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reset the heart, mind, and soul. This collection is not just poetry—it’s a guide to strength, release, and self-discovery.
