About this listen

Tears of an Orphan is a powerful, poetic journey through the eyes of a child who was never chosen, the teen who grew up too fast, and the adult who is still learning to heal. In this deeply moving collection, each poem is a story woven from silence, longing, and the quiet strength of survival.

From foster homes with no photographs to birthday candles that never got lit, this book doesn’t flinch. It walks with you through the unspoken places: the night that never ended, the blanket that pretended to be arms, the bruises no one could see. And yet, amid the sorrow, there is light. There is a steady thread of resilience, of becoming, of rising—not because it was easy, but because it was necessary.

Tears of an Orphan is not only for those who grew up without parents, it is for anyone who has ever felt forgotten, invisible, or unloved. It is a tribute to every soul who had to learn to parent themselves, to find warmth in their own voice, and to rewrite the story others abandoned.

With unflinching honesty and lyrical grace, this collection is a mirror and a balm. It will make you cry. It will make you feel seen. And, most of all, it will make you remember that survival is sacred…and so are you.
