"With each breath, I count one star is more than a collection of poems-it's a record of the many selves I've carried, shed, and rediscovered. These poems didn't come from a place of calm reflection, but from storms I didn't always survive unscathed. I began writing from a place of hurt.
This book isn't just mine. It belongs to every version of me that tried to speak, to scream, to sing. It belongs to every moment that left a mark-on my skin, my heart, my memory. And with each breath, yes, I still count the stars. One for every word I never said out loud-until now."
