Overview

Some books promise healing. This one promises honesty. Because I'm Still Breathing is a poetry collection about survival, about what it means to keep going when the world seems intent on breaking you. From the author of Because I Felt Everything comes over 100 poems that peel back the silence around pain, vulnerability, and the invisible battles we fight alone. These are verses for the nights when breathing feels like an act of defiance, for the mornings when simply existing is a victory. Split into six intimate sections, this collection traces the unflinching journey through loathing, fear, grief, love, and the slow rebuilding of a self that refuses to disappear. Each poem is raw, unguarded, and deeply human, an echo for anyone who has ever felt ""too much"" or ""too broken."" This is not about being fixed. It's about being seen. It's about survival in its quietest, fiercest form. For the dreamers with cracked hearts, the fighters with invisible scars, and the ones still learning to love themselves-this book is for you. You are not too much. You are not alone. You are still breathing. And that is enough.

Author Information

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
