The Storm I Carry is a collection of poems about what it means to keep living inside a mind that feels too loud, a heart that has known too much, and a body that has learned how to endure. These poems move through grief, inherited pain, motherhood, and the quiet labor of surviving emotional storms. They sit in the small moments: holding a child in the dark, arguing with your own thoughts, remembering who you were before you learned to disappear. The voice is intimate and unfiltered, shaped by the tension between wanting to stay and wanting to be free. Written for readers who feel deeply, love fiercely, and carry more than they let on, The Storm I Carry offers a place to be seen in the mess of it all. These are poems for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their own inner weather and kept going anyway.
