The Lie I Bought is a deeply personal poetry collection about love, identity, faith, emotional survival, and the quiet contradictions of becoming.
Through intimate, reflective, and spoken-word style pieces, this collection explores what it means to grow up believing in certain versions of love, strength, and happiness, only to slowly unlearn them. It moves through heartbreak and hope, silence and self-awareness, longing and letting go.
These poems sit in the space between what we are told and what we quietly discover for ourselves. They speak to the moments we feel too much, the times we hold on too long, and the process of learning that healing is rarely linear.
At its heart, The Lie I Bought is about perception and truth. About the stories we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the ones we eventually rewrite in our own voice.
For readers who have ever questioned love, wrestled with faith, carried emotional weight in silence, or tried to find themselves in the middle of everything they were told to be, this collection offers reflection, recognition, and release.
Raw, lyrical, and honest, The Lie I Bought is not just a book of poems. It is a record of becoming.
Step into these pages and trace the moments where truth quietly finds its voice.
