The Breaking of Me: From Pieces to Power

DeSamuel Curtis is a new author from the great state of Michigan. He is currently working towards a Doctor of Education Degree with an emphasis on school leadership. In The Breaking of Me: From Pieces to Power, DeSamuel traces a journey from heartbreak and struggle to discovery and strength. Each poem in this stirring collection provides thought provoking moments, fractures, and the powerful transformations that arise from healing. DeSamuel writes with unflinching honesty, offering readers short but resonant verses that capture pain, reflection, faith, and the hard-won growth that follows. Here, breaking is not an ending, it’s the beginning of finding new purpose. The pieces of loss and vulnerability become building blocks for hope, resilience, and renewal. For anyone walking through their own breaking or searching for meaning in the aftermath, these poems are a companion for your healing. DeSamuel’s voice affirms that every struggle has the power to shape us, every broken piece contains a spark of strength, and the journey from pain to wholeness is paved with courage, faith, and self-discovery. Let these pages remind you: power can rise from the pieces. You are not alone-your transformation has already begun.
