What does it mean to feel everything and survive it?
What does it look like to hold grief in one hand and joy in the other, without dropping either?
Because I Felt Everything is an unflinching journey through the vast landscape of human emotion. In fifty powerful, deeply personal poems, Makitia Thompson invites readers into a world where heartbreak, healing, desire, silence, rage, softness, and hope exist side by side. Never asking for permission, never pretending to be neat.
Told in four parts: The Ache of Becoming, The Weight of Love, The Quiet Resistance, and The Fire That Heals. This collection explores what it means to carry the past while learning how to live inside the present. Thompson doesn't shy away from the hard truths: abandonment, emotional survival, generational wounds, the ache of being misunderstood. But in equal measure, she offers warmth, beauty, and joy. There are poems here that scream. Others whisper. All of them tell the truth.
With language that is as raw as it is lyrical, Thompson writes for the overfeelers, the ones who carry too much, who stay too long, who try to love without losing themselves. This book is not about perfection. It's about permission. Permission to unravel. To rebuild. To admit that healing is messy and nonlinear. To remember that softness is not weakness, but power.
Whether you're grieving, growing, searching, or simply surviving, Because I Felt Everything meets you where you are. It's not here to fix you. It's here to remind you that you were never broken.
For anyone who has ever felt too deeply in a world that asked them not to, this book is for you.
