Poems about faith after trauma.
For anyone whose belief was used against them, and is trying to find honest ground again.
Faith after trauma is a different animal than faith before it. The tidy answers don't fit anymore, and neither does the room the answers came in. These poems were written from that unstable middle — after leaving, before knowing.
The reading list below is free. If the poems land, the print editions carry the fuller arc from spiritual harm to something quieter and more honest.

Questions readers ask
Common questions.
- Can you still have faith after trauma?
- Many survivors do — but the faith on the other side rarely looks like the faith they had before. It's smaller, quieter, more honest, and less performative. These poems try to sit inside that.
- What about scripture that was used against me?
- You are allowed to grieve the passages that were weaponized, and to read them again on your own terms — or not to read them at all for a while. "Equally Yoked," "False Prophet," and "Sanctified Silence" name this specifically.
- Do I have to forgive?
- Forgiveness on the timeline of harm is not repentance and it is not safety. In the poems, forgiveness is not a rushed peace treaty — it is something that sometimes arrives, quietly, long after safety.
