Some books promise healing. This one promises honesty.
Because I'm Still Breathing is a poetry collection about survival, about what it means to keep going when the world seems intent on breaking you.
From the author of Because I Felt Everything comes over 100 poems that peel back the silence around pain, vulnerability, and the invisible battles we fight alone. These are verses for the nights when breathing feels like an act of defiance, for the mornings when simply existing is a victory.
Split into six intimate sections, this collection traces the unflinching journey through loathing, fear, grief, love, and the slow rebuilding of a self that refuses to disappear. Each poem is raw, unguarded, and deeply human, an echo for anyone who has ever felt too much or too broken.
This is not about being fixed. It's about being seen. It's about survival in its quietest, fiercest form.
For the dreamers with cracked hearts, the fighters with invisible scars, and the ones still learning to love themselves-this book is for you.
You are not too much.
You are not alone.
You are still breathing. And that is enough.
