the words unsaid
by
m. highmoor
This sparse, tense collection of free verse poetry chronicles the trauma of being in a mentally and emotionally abusive relationship, how hard it is to feel stuck when the relationship ends, and the growth and healing that comes when the ashes have fallen. Written over the span of two years by a high school student, words unsaid starts at the darkest times when everything is going wrong. It takes the reader on a journey through breaking, to damaged and finally into growth. With themes of identity, self-love, wellness, recovery, and even grief. This collection reminds us that we are not alone—there is always someone nearby who understands what it's like, and can help. Even after the darkest times, things do get better.
The author has been writing poetry since she was thirteen. It’s always been a dream of hers to share her work with other poetry lovers, but even more so after finishing this collection. The writing process has helped her heal from trauma, and she hopes others will find comfort in her words. Her favourite past time is reading and writing. When she isn’t working on new poems, she loves to cook, bake (especially with her best friend), and listen to music. She lives in Manitoba, Canada with her parents and older sister.
