Unbreakable is a raw and intimate poetry collection about surviving the unspeakable and slowly learning how to live again. Through powerful verses and quiet, reflective interludes, Kayla Namio follows the lifelong echoes of childhood trauma, sexual assault, mental illness, and the private battles carried in silence. Each poem guides the reader through the wreckage and into the slow and courageous work of rebuilding a life.
Rooted in themes of CPTSD, depression, hyper independence, self protection, and the delicate process of healing, Unbreakable speaks to anyone who has ever felt too much, too broken, or unseen in their suffering. Namio writes not as someone fully healed, but as someone learning moment by moment how to reclaim her body, her voice, her softness, and her right to stay.
Both tender and devastating, this collection becomes a companion for survivors and a love letter to the inner child. It reminds the reader that healing is rarely linear or pretty. It is messy, sacred, painful, and deeply human. Above all, Unbreakable offers one simple truth: trauma may shatter you, but it can never erase who you are.
