Being Human
About the book
Being Human is a raw and heartfelt coming-of-age anthology about unlearning the fears rooted in childhood trauma and rising from the ashes to embrace love, self-discovery, and healing. Through poetry — her chosen form of self-expression and a vital part of her personal therapy — the author shares a journey of survival and resilience. Her words remind us that even in the darkest places, hope can take root and grow.

“A collection of old and new poems, dealing with [her] young adult life, anxieties, struggles, rays of sunshine and more. Some [poems] going all the way back to age 13… It’s been fun to see this book being made and put out into this world with all the same emotions that are embedded on to these pages. From full on fear, to pure joy and excitement and everything in between.” - R.V.

“Honestly [Elyssa’s] poems soothes the soul and spirit, and we have to read things like this to appreciate ourselves ‘being human’. I lost so many people I love, have loved and behold when I opened the book it was page 15, so surreal… and all the while going thru the pages, it enriches my spirit. Thx Elyssa for doing this and opened your heart and soul to share with us all”
