Most are simply toxic to our being simply because their needs and way of existing force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness.But the fact that you are--that despite the darkened you feel, you have the ability to share you love and light with others--is a strength. In this poetry collection, Daniell Koepke gives voice to the fear and anxiety, as well as the perseverance and strength, that has been fundamental to her own personal growth journey and the path to deeper and more meaningful self-love and acceptance.
