Through poems on love and heartbreak, family relationships, financial struggle, Black identity, racial injustice, grief, humor, and self preservation, this book explores what it means to endure quietly in a world that demands resilience without repair. Rooted in lived experience, these poems examine emotional trauma, generational survival, housing instability, and the moment when choosing yourself becomes an act of necessity rather than healing. This collection of modern poetry does not offer easy inspiration or resolution. Instead, it documents self protection, boundaries, forgiveness, and the courage to walk away when staying costs too much. Ideal for readers of Black poetry, healing poetry, trauma poetry, and contemporary verse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leandra Denson,Queen Alienated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798278507697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.06d","brand":"Leandra Denson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171220562175,"sku":"9798278507697","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-self-defense-leandra-denson-9798278507697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
