In this heartfelt collection, Ria explores the vulnerability of identity. She navigates poetically through a complex web of experiences – grief, loss, love, memory, and the invisible battles we often fight in silence.
Divided into two acts, Lost and Found, this manuscript marks a journey of unlearning and learning; it is an ode to conquered fears, to the aching beauty of the ordinary, and to the bittersweet ephemerality of life. Each poem is preceded by a thought-provoking question, one that impels you to look deeper within. As you journey through the twenty-one questions in this manuscript, you may find yourself uncovering a deeper understanding of who you are.
For the moments when you feel broken and long to heal, let these poems be a quiet whisper of understanding. A reminder that you do not carry the weight of this world alone. A promise that these pages will always guide you back home.
