The Parts They Told Me to Kill

“The Parts They Told Me To Kill” is a raw and unflinching poetry collection about survival, grief, rage, trauma, and the painful work of becoming whole. Mahala Miller writes with brutal honesty and tender defiance, giving voice to the parts of ourselves we are taught to hide, fear, or hate. These poems do not offer easy healing; they offer recognition, permission, and a mirror for anyone learning to love themselves through the darknessnot despite every ugly thing inside them, but because of it.
