The Pain Inside My Head

The Pain Inside My HeadSome pain screams.Other pain learns how to smile, go to work, raise children, love deeply, and keep moving as though nothing inside is breaking.The Pain Inside My Head is a poetry collection about the battles people fight silently. Through poems about depression, trauma, motherhood, guilt, anger, toxic behavior, fear, heartbreak, healing, and the desperate desire to feel alive again, Missy Smith gives a voice to the emotions many people are too ashamed or afraid to admit.These poems don't pretend healing is easy. They explore what it means to love others while struggling to love yourself, to carry wounds without becoming them, and to survive days when simply existing feels exhausting. They speak for the person who looks strong while falling apart, the mother who believes she should have done more, the heart afraid it will never be enough, and the mind searching for peace beneath all the noise.Honest, vulnerable, and deeply personal, The Pain Inside My Head is for anyone who has ever hidden their suffering behind a smile.The pain may be loud.But hope is learning to speak louder.
