Book excerpt: Sometimes we simply forget our memories. They hide in the abyss of our minds in order to protect our hearts. That's what people usually call a response of certain trauma. And here I was, writing about forgotten memories, feelings and pictures. I wrote about what it means for a heart to break, for a soul to shatter and what it is like to be a wounded child. With all love and respect, I wrote this for the wounded child that you are too. Until I Die is a collection of poetry and prose that reflect on the long-term struggles of traumatic events starting from childhood experiences and following, the conflict of identity and the hardships of feeling left out in life. This is bittersweet message to our inner children.
