Fragments of Me is a poetry collection for those who learned to be functional before they were allowed to be human.
Written in spare, intimate fragments, these poems explore emotional neglect, survival, anger held quietly in the body, and the slow, disorienting work of healing. This is not a book about getting over pain it is about living with it honestly, without spectacle or apology.
Each piece moves through absence, grief, and resilience with restraint, giving language to experiences often endured in silence: being needed but not seen, existing as usefulness rather than personhood, and longing to be noticed without having to ask.
This collection is for readers who move carefully through the world, who carry more than they show, and who are learning piece by piece and that survival was never the same as living.
