Chrysalis

Chrysalis depicts my journey from depression, loss, and abuse to freedom and love through poetry. I wrote it during a time of great pain, change, and ultimately growth; my “chrysalis period.” This book is largely free-verse, with a few structured poems sprinkled throughout. My wish is for this book to provide hope and healing to those who have suffered from depression or abuse, and show them that there is sunshine on the outside of your Chrysalis. You will break through.
