The Road Back to Myself is a powerful poetic journey through loss, breaking, surrender, and rebirth. In this deeply moving collection, Jamaican poet and author Poetess Defy traces the winding path from grief to healing, from silence to voice, from emptiness back to self.
Through five transformative stages-Shock, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance-Defy writes with honesty, rhythm, and spiritual clarity. Her poems illuminate the quiet battles we fight within, the shadows we learn to name, and the courage it takes to rise again after life has stripped us bare.
With the lyrical strength of Maya Angelou and the emotional resonance of contemporary women's poetry, The Road Back to Myself offers readers:
- A companion through seasons of grief, transition, and emotional rebuilding
- A reminder that healing is not linear, but deeply personal
- A celebration of resilience, faith, and the rediscovery of inner strength
- A universal message of hope for anyone who has ever felt lost, broken, or undone
This collection is more than poetry-it is a testimony of survival.
A declaration of identity.
A return to wholeness.
For every person who has ever had to gather dem self in pieces and rise again, The Road Back to Myself is your mirror, your map, and your reminder that you are never walking alone.
