Safety in You
is a collection of poems about love, loss, addiction, and finding comfort in a world that doesn't always feel safe. It explores what it means to rely on someone else for peace, what happens when that safety is taken away, and how we learn to create it within ourselves.
Some poems dive into the struggles of addiction-the way it pulls you in, convinces you it's the only way out, and leaves you searching for something real. Others focus on love, both the kind that lifts you up and the kind that breaks you apart. There are poems about grief, the way it lingers long after someone is gone, and the small moments that bring them back. And throughout the collection, there's an underlying theme of searching-searching for stability, for healing, for a place to rest when the world feels too heavy.
This book isn't about perfect endings or quick fixes. It's about the messy, complicated parts of being human. It's about feeling lost and learning to find your way again. Whether you've struggled with addiction, heartbreak, grief, or just the weight of life itself,
is here to remind you that you're not alone. That even in the darkest moments, there is still something worth holding onto. And that, sometimes, the safest place you can find is within yourself.
