Sincerely Me, Marie

What if the words you never spoke could finally set you free?

Sincerely Me, Marie is a deeply personal collection of poetry that explores the lasting impact of trauma and the quiet beauty of healing. Through raw, heartfelt verses, Marie Stockwey reflects on childhood wounds, adoption, complicated family relationships, abuse, addiction, grief, resilience, and the lifelong journey of learning to love herself.

Each poem is a letter to the past, a conversation with the present, and a reminder that healing is rarely linear, but it is always possible. Written with honesty and hope, this collection offers comfort to anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or broken by life's circumstances.

Within these pages, you'll find poems about:

• Trauma and survival
• Adoption and identity
• Grief and loss
• Family estrangement and forgiveness
• Addiction and its ripple effects
• Self-worth, hope, and healing

Whether you're searching for words to help make sense of your own story or simply looking for poetry that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, Sincerely Me, Marie is a reminder that our scars do not define us. They tell the story of how we survived.

In the end, I discovered I wasn't just writing poems. I was writing my way back to myself.
