In Things I Buried Instead of Saying, words once left unspoken are finally given the space to breathe. This hauntingly beautiful collection journeys through the quiet devastations of heartbreak, loss, longing, anxiety, identity, and healing. Each poem is a whispered confession, an unwrapped scar, and a tender hand held out to those who’ve ever swallowed their truth to keep the peace.
Written with raw emotional depth and stunning simplicity, these poems speak directly to the parts of us that ache in silence. Whether it’s the heaviness of grief, the confusion of love unreturned, or the slow crawl back toward self-acceptance, this book is a companion for the nights when it all feels too much.
For anyone who has ever said, “I’m fine” when they weren’t, or smiled when they wanted to scream, this book is a gentle permission slip to feel it all—and to finally speak the things you buried instead of saying.
