The Door Between Us

Some doors are meant to stay open. Some are meant to close gently with care. Some should be slammed shut. And others require courage just to touch the handle. The Door Between Us is a poetry collection about healing the spaces between. Between you and yourself, you and your body, you and family, lovers, past relationships, and the world at large. Each chapter is its own door, named and explored with intention, tracing a journey from pain toward compassion, hurt toward healing. Within these pages, poetry becomes a way of asking hard questions: What am I holding onto? What no longer serves me? What would it look like to meet myself with love instead of judgment? This collection moves through deeply personal terrain—body image, eating disorders, depression, romance that wounds, love that softens—and invites the reader to consider what they are ready to release, and what they are ready to let in.
