A poetry collection for anyone healing from trauma, loss, or self-doubt

Chains of Her Soul is a raw, honest collection of poetry and prose born from trauma, addiction, grief, and the long road back to healing. These poems don’t sugarcoat the darkness—they sit in it, scream through it, and rise from it with a fierce determination to reclaim hope.

​

This book is for anyone who has ever felt broken, lost, or trapped by their past. If you’ve struggled with self-doubt, pain, or the weight of old wounds, these words will help you feel seen and less alone. Chains of Her Soul invites you to witness your own journey through the lens of survival, self-acceptance, and transformation.

​

Inside these pages, you’ll find:

  • The unfiltered truth of surviving trauma and addiction

  • The struggle of balancing strength and vulnerability

  • The power of choosing yourself, even when it feels impossible​

 

This isn’t a book about being saved. It’s about saving yourself. If you’re ready to face your story and find your light, this collection is for you.

Excerpt from Chains of Her Soul

Here’s a glimpse inside the collection—a poem for anyone finding their way through darkness and into healing:

she stands in the light while others run
she lives from a place of strength
she has many needs that never get met
she doesn’t know how to ask
or it is simply that so many have failed her in the past
or this just feels safer
