Innocence Lost

By Nikole Underwood

Some wounds don't just heal. They become words.

Innocence Lost is a raw and deeply personal collection of poetry written across years of becoming-from the voice of a girl trying to survive to the voice of a woman learning how to heal.

Through heartbreak, fear, love, betrayal, motherhood, loss, strength, and self-discovery, Nikole Underwood gives a voice to the things we often struggle to say out loud. Some poems were written by the girl she once was. Others came from the woman she fought to become. Together, they tell the story of what it means to grow through the things that were supposed to break you.

These pages do not tell a perfectly polished story of healing. They tell a real one.

For anyone who has ever felt unheard, carried wounds they couldn't explain, questioned their worth, loved too deeply, lost pieces of themselves, or had to figure out how to begin again, Innocence Lost is a reminder that your story still matters.

Healing may not be a straight line. The past cannot always be rewritten. But sometimes putting the pain into words is how we finally begin to reclaim it.

A girl.

A pen.

A thousand unspoken words.

One story still being written.

Innocence was lost. But I am still here.
