And I Close My Eyes

And I Close My Eyes is a collection of poetry about overcoming trauma and self doubt in order to heal. Divided into three parts, this collection is organized in such a way that its poems represent the different stages in the process of healing. Whether you feel you need a chance to sit with the pain, to connect with the feelings of your internal battles, or you need inspiration in order to fight on, each section offers a different set of raw emotions to discover. This collection focuses heavily on mental health, healing, overcoming various traumas, struggles, and pain, and making it to a place in life where your feet are on the ground and you are moving forward. Hailey Marie takes us on a journey with her as she learns to accept herself, her past, and all that she went through in the form of poetry. Various stages in her healing process are connection points for others going through their healing process. No matter what stage you are in in your healing journey, from just realizing the trauma, beginning to fight it, or finally starting to heal, there is something for everyone in this collection and inspiring words to meet every heart.
