The Weight I Carried

By Sarah Sturgill

The Weight I Carried is a raw and deeply personal collection of poetry exploring trauma, mental health, heartbreak, body image, family struggles, and healing.

Through honest and emotional poems, Sarah K. Sturgill shares the realities of abuse, intrusive thoughts, self-doubt, toxic relationships, addiction within the family, and the long journey toward finding strength again. Each poem captures the weight of experiences often carried in silence and the resilience it takes to survive them.

From the darkest moments of feeling broken and invisible to the gradual process of rebuilding and self-acceptance, The Weight I Carried is a reminder that healing is not linear, survival is strength, and no one is truly alone in what they carry.

For readers who have ever struggled with their mental health, questioned their worth, or fought to keep going, this collection offers honesty, understanding, and hope.
