Women of Wounds - Paperback

by Serena Raja (Author), Selena Raja (Author)

I'm a woman of wounds Who's felt too much too soon. Been lonely for a hundred years, Cried a couple oceans of tears. --Selena Raja Our sensitive tears would flow down our cheeks, Like leaves falling off an autumn tree. They would continue to fall until they hit the cold concrete, Leaving a pool of tears beneath our feet. --Serena Raja Even twins have different experiences in life and perspectives about those experiences. In a debut collection of poetry, Serena and Selena Raja share verse penned individually over the course of seven years that explore numerous hardships in life that include mental illness and war. With the desire to provide hope and comfort to others that they are not alone in the struggles they face and that with every hardship there is relief, Serena and Selena reflect on depression, fake friends, regret, tragedy, and much more in a compilation inspired by their passion to raise awareness for mental health and the horrors that civilians face in war-torn countries. Women of Wounds shares diverse poems and original illustrations created by twin sisters who offer unique perspectives on their lives and the world around them.
