Because I Understand: Poems from a Heart That Refused to Stay Broken
Because I Understand – Poems from a Heart That Refused to Stay Broken is a powerful, soul-deep collection of contemporary poetry about love, heartbreak, and the quiet strength found in truly understanding yourself—and those around you.
Through the voice of Amara—a woman transformed by war, shaped by love, and strengthened through loss—these poems trace the emotional landscape of a heart that broke but didn't stay shattered. From the rush of romance to the ache of betrayal, from the demands of motherhood to the stillness of healing, her journey becomes a mirror for anyone who has ever lost themselves in the name of love.
Structured like an emotional investment journey—"Initial Buy-In," "Volatility," "Crash," "Recovery"—these poems transform the language of financial markets into the currency of the heart. Each chapter reflects the cycles we all the hope, the risk, the loss, and ultimately, the reclaiming of self-worth. At the core of it all is understanding: of self, of others, of the choices we make and the ones we must finally unmake.
These poems are more than reflections—they're revelations. They show us that real transformation doesn't come from avoiding pain, but from facing it with eyes wide open. Because understanding isn't just closure—it's transformation. It's a doorway. An ending that becomes a beginning.
If you've ever loved deeply, lost yourself, or longed to feel whole again—this book is your companion. It's for anyone who has weathered emotional storms and emerged not bitter, but wiser.
Because survival is not the end of the story. Understanding is where the real story begins.
