Shard in the Heart: Survival Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956603019)

We are born into this world without understanding that the circumstances around us will inevitably cause heartache. Heartache forms a dark shard that grows until we either die of a broken heart or seek help. I wrote until I gained freedom from the shard in my heart.

Shard in the Heart is born from the idea that multiple versions of ones self exist. Every time you make a decision, another version of you makes the opposite choice. There are versions of ourselves that have lost their lives to suicide.

When suicide occurs, there is so much pain that the soul shatters and the soul split into shards. These painful shards are embedded into the living versions of the self. Those of us who exist must bear the pain and carry on even though we do not understand why our heart aches.

The poems in this compilation were born of a need to spill the frustration onto pages and away from our hearts. My greatest hope is that by sharing my words, you can relate to my stories and find a way out of the darkness, a way to pull the shard out of your heart. Open your heart, pour out the words and experience life.
