Muted Damages by Drew Mackby Sand is a raw, powerful poetry collection that delves deep into the emotional journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. In these unflinchingly honest verses, Sand opens up about the experience of growing up in a toxic family dynamic-feeling like the "black sheep" and struggling to break free from painful, often isolating roots. With vivid imagery and heartfelt emotion, Muted Damages speaks to anyone who has ever felt unseen, rejected, or lost in their own story.
Through themes of family, resilience, and transformation, this collection explores how to heal from the wounds of the past, reclaim your identity, and move toward a life of authenticity and self-acceptance. Each poem is an invitation to join the author on a journey from isolation to empowerment, from rejection to belonging, and from pain to freedom.
Perfect for readers who seek a voice for their own experiences of struggle and triumph, Muted Damages is a celebration of the strength it takes to rise above adversity and embrace who you truly are. Whether you're navigating personal challenges, healing from past trauma, or simply searching for connection, these poems will resonate with your heart and inspire you to reclaim your power.
