When the Words Are Lost: Confessions in the Dark is more than a poetry collection-it's a confession, a lifeline, an anthem for survivors.
Bryant Smith opens the door to his mind, letting silence finally speak. These poems chronicle intimate battles with identity, grief, mental health, faith, love, and the relentless ache of becoming.
Raw, reflective, and unapologetically real, When the Words Are Lost offers clarity amid chaos, hope amid despair. These pages aren't polished-they're honest.
This book is for anyone who's felt too much, carried burdens too long, or lingered in darkness longer than they ever wanted.
A mirror for those who wear their scars like ink.
A call to release your pain.
A reason to keep becoming.
