This book was never meant to exist. It was born from pain, from love, from moments I couldn’t contain within myself. The words you’ll find here are pieces of me—fragments of memories, emotions, and truths that once lived in silence. Some were written in the depths of despair, others in the warmth of love, and some in the quiet moments of realization. I have always believed that poetry is a reflection of the soul. It captures what we can’t always say out loud—the heartbreaks that left us breathless, the illusions we clung to, the strength we didn’t know we had. In these pages, you will find shadows, but you will also find light. Because even in the darkest moments, there is something worth holding onto. This collection is for those who have loved deeply, lost painfully, and still found a way to keep going. If you have ever felt broken, if you have ever questioned your worth, if you have ever stood in the aftermath of something that changed you—then these words are for you. I do not write for perfection. I write for those who feel. Kokonutz
