Every Shade Of Human

<p><strong>this isn't poetry. it's emotional damage with line breaks.</strong></p><p></p><p><em>Every Shade of Human</em> is a raw unfiltered collection of poetry and personal essays that refuses to soften the truth for comfort. From childhood trauma and family dysfunction to love identity sexuality and the absurdity of modern life Serenite Hope examines what it means to be fully messily unapologetically human.</p><p></p><p>With sharp wit and unflinching honesty these pieces move between heartbreak and humor rage and tenderness exploring themes of:</p><p>• <strong>Trauma and healing</strong> - confronting childhood abuse toxic family dynamics and the long road to recovery</p><p>• <strong>Identity and self-discovery</strong> - navigating race gender attraction and the pressure to conform</p><p>• <strong>Relationships and boundaries</strong> - examining love marriage family and the cost of connection</p><p>• <strong>Social commentary</strong> - questioning gender roles cultural expectations and performative activism</p><p>• <strong>The absurdity of being alive </strong>- finding humor in pain and meaning in the mundane</p><p></p><p>There's no table of contents. No neat chapters. No apologies.</p><p></p><p>These pieces arrive like thoughts do-shifting tones looping back interrupting softness with something sharp. Some will make you cry. Some will make you laugh. Some will make you think who let her say that out loud?</p><p></p><h3>Perfect for readers who loved:</h3><p><em>Milk and Honey</em> by Rupi Kaur <em>The Princess Saves Herself in This One</em> by Amanda Lovelace <em>I'm Telling the Truth</em> <em>but I'm Lying</em> by Bassey Ikpi and <em>Hunger</em> by Roxane Gay.</p><p></p><p>If you've ever felt too much loved too hard or survived what you weren't supposed to-this book is for you.</p><p></p><p><strong>Raw.
