The Version I Buried- A poetry collection by Shamara

I wrote this book from a real place.

Life has a way of forcing you to grow, whether you ready or not. Sometimes you go through things that change you so much that the person you used to be can’t even come with you into the next chapter.

That’s what The Version I Buried is about.

It’s about pain.
It’s about healing.
It’s about becoming someone stronger after life tried to break you.

These poems come from moments where I had to sit with myself, face things I didn’t want to face, and realize that some versions of us were never meant to last forever.

Some versions of us had to be buried so we could finally grow.

This book speaks on real life pressure, relationships, motherhood, healing, self-worth, and learning how to stand back up after life knocks you down.

If you’ve ever felt like life forced you to become a stronger version of yourself…

this book will hit different.

Because sometimes the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do…

is let go of the person you used to be.
