Catching My Breath

About the Book

I came to my own rescue And inked my emotions. Penning my feelings Is like playing music In wavelengths, Connected with notes, Creating a melody, Staying in tune with my soul. From time to time, we all experience difficulties that seem to consume our lives. Yet at some point, our struggles can become a source of strength that motivates us to move forward. In a debut collection of poetry, Stephanie Chakiryan reflects on her real-life experiences and the many mountains she has climbed during her personal journey—some which remain constant today. Within her varied poems, Stephanie explores the complex emotions that accompanied her grief after her mother passed away, the battles she has fought within her soul, the anxiety that seemingly appears out of nowhere, the art of penning poetry, the strength she has found in the battles she has faced, and much more. Catching My Breath is a volume of inspirational free verse that breathes hope, love, and light into the world.
