If Walls Could Talk

By Cricket Unscripted

I wrote this book over many years - across different seasons of my life. Some of these poems were written when I was very young. Others came later, during moments of pain, confusion, and healing. I didn't write them to create a narrative, but together they became one.

If Walls Could Talk is a poetry collection about grief, trauma, faith, memory, and survival. It moves through six sections, beginning with collective loss and slowly turning inward - toward silence, fear, shame, and the long work of reclaiming the self. Each poem stands on its own, but each one also carries part of a larger truth: what it means to live through things that are difficult to name.

This book doesn't offer answers or resolutions. It offers honesty. It speaks to experiences that are often kept quiet and feelings that don't always have language. Writing these poems was a way of listening to what had been held inside for a long time.

I hope this book finds readers who recognize themselves somewhere in these pages - not because the experiences are the same, but because the feelings are. If nothing else, I hope it reminds you that your voice matters, and that surviving is not something small.
