This book was written because I didn't die when I thought I would, and now I have to live with that.My father was taken by gun violence, alive one moment, gone the next.

I lost a cousin who felt like a brother, and with him went whatever hope I had left. Loss follows me. It knows me. It watches. It waits.

I am the glass child, fragile but expected to hold everything, invisible until I break. I learned how to disappear, how to swallow pain, how to survive without ever being held. I grew up in homes where love was conditional, inconsistent, and used as leverage. Where my mother's absence, resentment, or instability carved damage just as deep as her presence. These poems carry the weight of unmet needs, emotional abandonment, and the lifelong hunger that comes from never being properly mothered.
