For those carrying childhood trauma, seeking inner child healing, or feeling that unexplainable void— Mark's spoken word gives voice to the pain you can't name.
Each poem is a mirror, a companion, a gentle hand reaching through the silence. Here are a few pieces to begin your journey.
"Mark my words—this page is yours,
A place to lay down hidden wars.
If silence has stitched your tongue in pain,
Let ink unfasten what remains..."
"Honor your mother and father,
Well that's one part of the phrase,
We seem to forget the other part,
About how we were supposed to be raised..."
"Tell me: who decided that it was good to be divided,
Tell me: who's so opposed to hearts being united,
Tell me why our vision of peace is so short-sighted..."
Breath of Fresh Air is more than a blog—it's a sanctuary for those navigating the complex journey of trauma recovery and emotional healing. Each article is crafted to meet you where you are: offering practical insights into inner child healing, nervous system regulation, and breaking generational cycles.
Whether you're a survivor of childhood trauma, someone processing CPTSD, or simply seeking to understand the weight you carry—these words are written for you. Rooted in therapeutic principles and expressed through the lens of poetry and lived experience, Breath of Fresh Air bridges the gap between clinical knowledge and soul-deep understanding.
Come. Sit down. May your weariness meet its end and may the healing begin.
