Broken Rhythms

Trauma is born of physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual injuries, destroying the individual's sense of self and safety. It impacts relationships and derails life-plans.

This compilation of poetry spans the author's lifetime, illustrating not only suffocating agony, but her journey through it and her evolution into hope, wisdom and freedom.For the sun must rise even after the darkest of nights.
