The Reckoning

The Reckoning is a book of poems written after silence stopped working. These poems confront emotional abandonment, moral cowardice, spiritual hypocrisy, abuse hidden behind politeness, love that corrodes, and the quiet violence of being left to survive alone. This is not poetry that asks permission. It names harm. It tracks accountability. It refuses to call endurance forgiveness. Moving from survival to confrontation to aftermath, The Reckoning exposes how damage is justified, how power hides, and how truth eventually demands payment.
These poems speak for those who were dismissed, minimized, spiritualized into silence, or told to be "strong" while bleeding. This is a book for readers who have lived through betrayal, illness, trauma, spiritual abuse, or toxic love and came out unwilling to pretend it was fine. This is not a healing journey. It's the bill coming due.
