A raw, unflinching ode to survival, this collection gives voice to the unheard, who witness life’s unseen struggles from slums to sex work, addiction to mental health. These poems don’t romanticize pain but honour the quiet defiance of the everyday. The author’s own battles reveal beauty in grit as he weaves personal and witnessed stories into a mosaic of endurance. For those who seek truth in the unvarnished, it’s a tribute to those who rebuild from fragments, finding light in the darkest places. A testament to the artistry of survival and the stark, profound grace of simply persisting.
