You Don't Look Sick is a collection of poems and essays that pulls back the veil on life with chronic pain and invisible illness. From the quiet exhaustion of daily survival to the haunting weight of diagnoses that cannot be seen, these pieces speak the truths so often silenced.

In these pages, the body becomes a battlefield, a cathedral, a haunted house; the voice, both fragile and unyielding. Through stark honesty and gothic imagery, the book explores the shame of falling at thirty, the hidden stone of brain calcification, the quiet resilience of surviving each day, and the invisible chains of fatigue.

This is not a story of neat recovery or easy triumph. It is a testament to living in defiance of pain, to grieving what is lost while still finding fragments of beauty in the shadows.

For anyone who has ever been told but you don't look sick-this book is a mirror, a confession, and a hand reaching out in the dark, saying: you are not alone.
