Marked by Your Hatred
is an intimate exploration of control, gaslighting, and survival. In this collection, J L Herald gives voice to the silent unraveling of the self that occurs under emotional and psychological abuse-when memory fractures, trust collapses, and the body becomes unfamiliar ground.
These poems navigate the dissonance between what is said and what is felt, what is remembered and what is denied. With stark, haunting imagery, the author probes what it means to question your own reality, to love someone dangerous, and to claw your way back from emotional erasure.
Marked by Your Hatred is not just a record of damage-it is a map of a mind reasserting its truth in the aftermath of coercion and collapse. Quietly powerful and emotionally unrelenting,
this collection insists:
Survival is not silence.
