because it matters

Some things are too heavy to say out loud. So they stay. In your throat. In your chest. In the quiet corners of your room. In your notes app, written at midnight and never shown to anyone. Until one day, they become poems. because it matters is a deeply personal collection about pain, love, survival and the kind of healing that does not arrive gently. It is about feeling trapped in places you are told to call home, grieving people who are still alive, questioning faith when prayers feel unanswered and trying to understand yourself when the world keeps telling you who to be. These poems do not pretend that pain is beautiful. They do not try to soften what hurts. They speak from the places people often hide — the mirror, the locked door, the unanswered message, the childhood wound, the silence after breaking. because it matters is for anyone who has ever felt too much, stayed quiet too long, or carried pain while still trying to live. It is not a promise that everything will stop hurting. It is proof that even the things we bury can still find a voice.
