I Am The Ocean

A collection of poetry on depression, suicide, grief, women's health, trauma and love — a powerful and raw exploration of struggles faced by many in today's society.

Written with honesty and vulnerability, the poems take readers through dark seasons and toward healing and self-discovery. From the depths of despair to the light of hope, they capture the complexities of living with depression and physical illness while shedding light on the resilience and strength of the human spirit.

Through intimate and evocative language, Michaelle explores the impact of societal expectations, past trauma and the stigma surrounding mental health, offering a voice to those who have felt silenced and alone. Above all, it is a reminder that even in the darkest moments there is a glimmer of light waiting to guide us toward healing — and that anything is possible.
