Summary

Still Here and Dreaming: Collection of Poems, Short Narratives, and Stories is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, healing, and hope. Through a deeply personal blend of poetry and prose, this collection delves into the mental and emotional battles we often face in silence—loneliness, depression, family struggles, and the search for purpose. At its core is the journey of a 45-year-old African woman navigating the complexities of modern life, from strained familial bonds to the challenges of finding connection and meaning. Set against a backdrop of cultural and generational influences, the collection invites readers into moments of vulnerability, reflection, and quiet strength. Each piece is a reminder that, no matter how overwhelming life may feel, hope is never out of reach. For anyone seeking encouragement, understanding, or simply the comfort of knowing they are not alone, Still Here and Dreaming offers a poignant and inspiring companion.

Preface

I began writing this collection of poems, short narratives, and stories as a form of escape. There were countless times when I felt alone and overwhelmed by depression, wondering where the years had gone and how I had fallen so far behind in life. Writing became my therapy—a way to process my emotions and find encouragement amid my struggles.

This collection is deeply personal, but my hope is that it will resonate with someone out there. If you’re feeling lost or alone, I want you to know that you’re not. These pages are a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there’s a shared humanity that connects us all.

There was no explanation for his hatred for Jeremiah. I figured he was being set but just had the wrong person. I loved ...
