Loved Used

Table of contents

1. 1Whispers and WallsJudged by beauty, misunderstood by whispers. My story begins, a tapestry woven with perception and fear, hiding a heart of gold and a mind unseen. They see the surface, not the depths.
2. 2The City's Cruel EmbraceA mother's gunshot wound, a city's harsh welcome. We traded safety for struggle, only to face a new wave of violence: the jump, the kidnapping, the desperate fight for my children.
3. 3A Legacy of LiesBeneath the veneer of family, a serpent lurked. My aunt's heritage fraud, stolen dreams, and manipulated truths left me homeless, a pawn in a game of greed.
4. 4A Shield in the StormIn the eye of my personal hurricane, a true friend emerged. His strength was my anchor, his loyalty a beacon. But fate, ever cruel, dimmed his light.
5. 5A Glimmer of HopeTwelve years alone, then he appeared. A perfect love, a steady hand, a shared struggle through homelessness and pregnancy. I dared to believe, to trust again.
6. 6The Mask SlipsThe birth of our child, the supposed end of hardship. Yet, his homelessness vanished, his love cooled. The perfect man fractured, revealing a calculated plot.
7. 7Echoes of the PastHe turned, mirroring my abusers. The whispers became his voice: 'whore,' 'ugly,' 'horrible.' His hands, once gentle, now struck. I was trapped in their old nightmare.
8. 8The Weight of BetrayalHe handed our child to DCS, his empathy gone. The man who held me now crushes me. Couch surfing, jobless, yet I hustle, while he watches, detached and cruel.
9. 9A Flicker of DefianceThey hate, they judge, they plot. He treats me as they do, even my puppy is ignored. The man I loved, now alien, fuels the fire of my deepest fears.
10. 10Reclaiming the DawnBroken, but not extinguished. The fight for my children, my legacy, my soul begins anew. I will rise from these ashes, a testament to resilience, a promise of my own dawn.

• From Earth to Sun: A Single Mother’s Bloom - Every scar a root, every day a bloom.

  She planted herself in hard ground, where shadows lingered and rain rarely fell—raising her children and rebuilding her world all on her own. These poems trace her journey from the heavy earth of hardship, betrayal, and quiet grief, all the way upward toward the warm light she deserves. Like a sunflower pushing through soil, she grows strong where she stands: tough stem, soft golden petals, a heart that turns toward hope even on cloudy days. Here she writes of late‑night worries, boundaries that protect her peace, and the fierce love that keeps her blooming. She honors the pain she carries unseen, and celebrates the courage it takes to rise alone. From Earth to Sun: A Single Mother’s Bloom is a collection for every woman who has had to grow without support, heal in silence, and shine bright for her family. It reminds you that you can root deep, stand tall, and bloom beautifully—for them, and for yourself.
