What This Item Is About

Some things we say out loud.

Some things we carry quietly for years.

And some things only seem to make sense once we put them into words.

This collection of bespoke poetry by M.E. Bird is about all of it—the women who shape us, the people we love, the ones we lose, the families we’re born into and the ones we build, the ache of letting go, the grace of holding on, and the strange, beautiful business of becoming who we are.

Written with tenderness, humor, honesty, and a little Southern soul, these poems wander through childhood and motherhood, friendship and heartbreak, aging and acceptance, grief and gratitude, ordinary days and extraordinary moments.

There are poems for the woman you used to be.

Poems for the woman you fought to become.

Poems for the people who left fingerprints on your heart.

And poems for those quiet moments when you realize life didn't turn out exactly the way you planned—and somehow, there is still so much beauty in it.

This isn't poetry meant to be studied.

It's poetry meant to be felt.

Read one with your morning coffee. Find another when your heart hurts. Dog-ear the ones that sound suspiciously like they were written about you.

Because somewhere between loving, losing, laughing, forgiving, remembering, and beginning again, we all leave pieces of ourselves behind.

And sometimes, a few words are enough to bring them home.
