Lint in my pocket

By: Smith, Sophia

Welcome to the mind of a survivor.
From childhood trauma to adult heartbreak, this collection traces the journey of a woman shaped by pain but not defined by it. Raised dirt poor, mixed race, overlooked by parents, bullied in school, and becoming a mother and wife at a young age, she learned early how heavy life could be. Abuse, addiction, and emotional darkness threatened to consume her, convincing her the pain might never end.
But it did.
Through therapy, self-love, the unwavering support of true friends, and most of all, the fierce love of her children, she found her way back to herself.
Lint in My Pocket is a raw and intimate collection of poetry exploring trauma, resilience, healing, and the quiet gray spaces in between. Some poems are wrapped in metaphor; others speak plainly and without apology. Together, they reveal the dark beauty of survival and the enduring light that follows.
If you have ever felt unseen, unheard, or broken, this book is for you.
