The Words That Gave Me Wings

Written between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, The Words That Gave Me Wings is a profoundly moving collection of poetry that encapsulates the tumultuous experience of blossoming into womanhood. Divided into four chapters mirroring the life cycle of a butterfly: Egg, Larva, Pupa and Adult, the poems chronicle the poet's own metamorphosis. Just as a caterpillar transforms into a magnificent butterfly, the act of writing allowed the poet to shed her skin, embrace her true self, and finally take flight. This collection is a testament to the enduring power of self-expression and the beauty of vulnerability, reminding us that every lesson, love, tear and triumph is worthy of poetry. It is a must-read for anyone who admires a soul being poured onto a page, has faced criticism for 'feeling too deeply' or needs the courage to prioritise their own needs when they know it is time to return to themselves.
