Shatter Silence: Poems of Survival and Hope (THE ECHOES OF BECOMING Book 1)

Book 1: Shatter Silence In Shatter Silence, raw pain finds poetry. This collection journeys through the darkest corners of the human spirit—where suffering is kept secret, and voices are smothered by fear, shame, or trauma. Each poem peers into the quiet agony of suppression, tracing invisible wounds that ache beneath the surface. Yet even amid the darkness, there are flickers of defiance and trembling first steps toward recovery. As the verses unfold, the reader witnesses the powerful transformation from voicelessness to the courage of articulation. Words become a lifeline, breaking the silence that once imprisoned the soul. With a tone that is dark, unflinching, and achingly honest, Shatter Silence does not turn away from pain—but instead honors the strength forged in facing it. Every poem concludes with the echoing refrain: I am still here. Far more than a declaration of survival, these words beat steadily at the heart of the book—an anthem for anyone who has suffered in silence and yearns to reclaim their voice. In the journey from shadow to light, Shatter Silence offers readers not just empathy, but hope.
