In my previous relationship, I wrestled with my sense of identity, often altering my personality to fit in, especially with my partner at the time. Over time, I lost sight of who I truly was and who I aspired to become. I found myself in an unhealthy dynamic that left me profoundly unhappy. It was during this period that I began expressing my emotions through poetry.

Now a new author, I’m excited to share my debut book, Clipped Wings. It’s a collection of short poems about surviving a harmful relationship. You can find it on Amazon under Dana Marie, and I’m thrilled to say that my second book Broken Fairytale is also available.
