and i remained

This poetry collection speaks for the voices that were silenced, the wounds that were hidden, and the strength it took to survive what was never supposed to happen.

This book explores the realities of domestic violence the fear, the confusion, the quiet endurance but it does not end there. These poems trace the journey from harm to awareness, from isolation to reclaiming self, from breaking to becoming.

Each poem is a witness. Each page is an act of truth.

Written for survivors, for those still finding their way out, and for anyone seeking to understand the unseen impact of abuse, this collection offers validation, reflection, and moments of hope. It does not soften the truth, but it honors resilience, courage, and the power of choosing yourself.

This is not a story about love that hurts.
It is about survival.
It is about voice.
It is about leaving and living.
