Conversations I Have In My Head: A collection of poems about love & abuse

"As uncomfortable as it is to talk about, and I know it is uncomfortable to listen to it needs to be talked about" A collection of poems and written works about domestic abuse and how trauma isn't easily condensed into a neat little box. Sometimes the box has wings, sometimes teeth. None of the cycles are simple; a lot of them are unappealing to others. I have been abused, and I have been left physically and mentally ill as a result. These poems were written from a place of severe mental illness and trauma that followed being married to a monster of man and trying to date afterwards. Questioning whether I was ever going to be free of this constant suffocation of rumination & grief. >What have readers loved about Conversations I Have in My Head? >"This is a deeply personal and painfully honest collection about abuse and survival.
