A poetic journey, slowly released (daily) between November 2024 and January 2025 as part of an audio-focused, spoken word project. Each poem started as words etched onto a page before being carefully recorded, eventually making their way back out of my fingertips and into this book. These words captured a transformative period where I recognized that I did not fit into my surroundings. Where I recognized that my environment was spitting me out. Where I recognized betrayal often wears the friendly mask of those closest to us. Come with me as I learn to accept what is. I bled these words. Now, I share these words as my secrets.
