Some days survival is quiet.
Chronically Me is a raw and honest poetry collection about living with chronic illness, disability, and the invisible battles that rarely make it into everyday conversation.
Written in reflection of a lifetime navigating pain, resilience, and identity, these poems capture both the quiet strength and the exhaustion of living in a body that demands constant negotiation. There are good days and there are hard days - and this book holds space for both.
This collection does not try to inspire or romanticize illness. Instead, it speaks the truth many people living with chronic conditions carry but rarely say out loud.
For those who have ever been told "you don't look sick," for those who fight battles no one else can see, and for anyone searching for language to describe the weight they carry - these poems are for you.
Sometimes the loudest fight is the one happening silently.
