About the Book: Shooting Stars

  Shooting Stars is a raw and luminous collection of poetry tracing the fragile arc between breaking and becoming. Through verses steeped in sorrow, love, and echoes of family, these pages hold the unspoken moments, the quiet ache after loss, the sharp truth of betrayal, and the slow, stubborn bloom of healing.

Written for those standing in the shadows of heartbreak, Shooting Stars offers both a mirror for the pain you've carried and a lantern for the path ahead. Each poem is a fragment of survival- proof that even in the darkest night, there are lights worth chasing.

 Excerpt:

"come find me

when the world is calm again

and you've taken some time to yourself

when you've learned to properly love

and you're ready to put in the effort

when you no longer view discussions as an attack

and can communicate

when i would have given you the universe

and you realize i am the love of your life

come find me"
