It Hurt Beautifully: A short poetry collection

Because some pain doesn’t want to be forgotten—
it wants to be transformed.

It Hurt Beautifully is a haunting, healing, and fiercely honest poetry collection that explores what it means to survive yourself and still feel beautiful doing it.

Split into four intimate sections, this book takes readers on an emotional journey through depression, ego, nostalgia, identity, loneliness, spiritual growth, and the quiet act of choosing to keep going. Every poem is raw but carefully sculpted, designed not to tell you how to feel, but to sit beside you in the moments when words are the only thing that understand.

Whether you’re in the middle of a breakdown or a breakthrough, this book offers a place to rest, reflect, and rediscover what it means to hurt without hiding.

Inside the book:

• Over 20 poems, ranging from tender to unflinching

• Themes of mental health, coming-of-age, spiritual resilience, and self-worth

• Divided into four chapters: Softly Breaking, Beautiful Ruin, Time Made Me Strange, and The Faith That Stayed

• Thoughtful section intros that guide the emotional arc of the book

• A final word to carry with you when the pages close
