"By the Way" is not just a collection of poems, it's a soft conversation, a tender afterthought, and a reflection of everything that words often leave behind. Let this book be your pause a soft whisper in a loud world. This book began with a feeling, a fleeting thought, a memory, a moment. "By the Way" is my attempt to hold those in between spaces, between silence and speech, between what we show and what we truly feel. These poems belong to anyone who has felt deeply, lost quietly, or sensed something they couldn't quite name. If even one line finds a place in your heart then this book has done what it was meant to do. By the way... thank you for being here!
