The Unseen Scars: Poetry for the Quietly Grieving

Synopsis

You’ve returned to your routine. You go to work, you see your friends, you even manage a smile. On the outside, life seems to be back to normal. But inside, a quiet ache persists, a gentle reminder of the storm you’ve weathered. This isn't a sign of weakness; it's a testament to the depth of what you've experienced. 'The Unseen Scars' offers a sanctuary for those moments when the world expects you to be 'over it,' but your heart knows otherwise. It’s an acknowledgment that healing isn’t linear, and that it’s okay to still feel the echoes of loss, heartbreak, or trauma, even when you’re putting on a brave face. This collection of poetry provides a gentle permission slip to honor your ongoing grief. Through evocative verses, Tebatso Muso explores the complexities of moving forward while still carrying the weight of the past. It’s a space to feel seen, understood, and validated in your quiet struggle. If you’ve experienced a major life upheaval and find yourself smiling through the tears, this book is for you. It’s a reminder that your unseen scars are part of your story, and that healing can coexist with remembrance.
