Finding Light Through The Shadows

By Matthew Evans

Finding Light Through the Shadows

A Poetic Journey Through Mental Health, Healing, and the Hidden Battles of a Soldier's Heart

Finding Light Through the Shadows is a powerful and deeply personal collection of poetry and reflection that explores the silent struggles of mental health, trauma, and recovery through the eyes of a soldier. Each piece offers raw honesty and emotional depth-revealing the unseen toll of war, the burden of memory, and the fragile beauty of healing.

From the restless nights of Complex PTSD to the quiet guilt of those battling invisible pain, these poems speak to anyone who has faced darkness and searched for light. Themes of love, loss, endurance, and redemption run throughout, offering comfort and understanding to readers navigating their own emotional battles.

Divided into reflective chapters-including The Fight Within, The Pillars of Survival and A Soldier's Burden-this book blends poetic expression with practical insights and takeaways for resilience, communication, and self-compassion. It is both a tribute to those who serve and a message of hope for all who fight unseen wars within.

Perfect for:

Readers drawn to authentic, emotional storytelling.

Veterans, families, and mental health advocates.

Anyone seeking comfort, understanding, and light through hardship.
