Blood In The Silence

You didn’t pick up this book by accident.Somewhere between the universe and your heart it found its way to you — maybe because a part of you needed to be seen felt or simply reminded that you’re not alone.These poems are pieces of me written in moments I thought I wouldn’t make it through.But they’re also for you — for the parts of your story you’ve never told out loud.Take your time here.Read slowly reread often cry if you must smile if it happens.And if any line feels like it was written just for you — then it was.With all the softness I have left_—Shaima Jamshed_
