⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've never highlighted so much in a book. Line after line hit like truth I didn't know I needed. This isn't inspiration with pretty bows. It's the kind that gets under your skin and makes you braver. -Maya L., Chicago, IL - High School English Teacher ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finally, poetry that doesn't flinch. Believe Lylyianne writes like someone who's lived through the collapse and stayed long enough to name the smoke. It's brutal, beautiful, and absolutely unforgettable. -Rafael T., Denver, CO - Firefighter You don't have to shine to be holy. You just have to keep going. Weathered Wings and Torn Halos is a poetry collection for those who are more human than halo-who rise not because it's easy, but because they refuse to stay down. Written with fierce honesty and a rhythmic, lyrical style, this book speaks to survivors of faith, loss, fire, grief, and all the quiet wars no one sees. These poems are built for the broken-hearted, the healing, the rebuilding, and the ones still holding light with shaking hands. Through eight vivid sections-ranging from storms and collapse to firelight and fragile hope-Believe Lylyianne explores what it means to fall apart and build something sacred from the ashes. These aren't polished prayers. They're breathless confessions. Resilient hymns. Dirt-under-your-nails kinds of healing. Every poem follows a structured cadence (14 stanzas, every other line rhyming), giving form to chaos and rhythm to survival. You'll find psalms for the furious, blessings for the bruised, and flight plans drawn in fire and faith. Whether you've wept in the dark, screamed at God, or stood back up for the hundredth time-this collection sees you. If you're tired of tidy inspiration and crave poetry that aches, burns, and still breathes light, Weathered Wings and Torn Halos is for you. This is not about being perfect. It's about being here-still rising, still real. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every poem felt like a hand on my back. For anyone who has questioned their worth, their faith, their future-this is a must-read. It helped me find language for the ache I thought only I carried. -Lauren C., Asheville, NC - Social Worker ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is a flame in a cold world. The structure, the rhythm, the way pain becomes power-it's unreal. These are the words I needed when I thought I was alone in the dark. -Devon H., Toronto, ON - Barista & Poet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Raw and holy. No other way to describe it. I've read it three times already. Every section feels like a different kind of healing. Especially loved the parts about faith not being perfect-but persistent. -Olivia W., Kansas City, MO - Nurse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It felt like someone finally wrote the truth. No sugarcoating. No clichés. Just breath, blood, and bravery on every page. I'll be giving this book to every person I love. -James R., London, UK - Musician ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is what surviving sounds like. The language is stunning, but it's the honesty that got me. You don't leave this book the same. You leave knowing you're allowed to take up space-exactly as you are. -Angelina F., Phoenix, AZ - Mental Health Advocate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A love letter to the ones still getting up. I saw my old selves in these pages. And my future ones too. The kind of book you carry with you long after you've closed it. -Chris D., Brooklyn, NY - Tattoo Artist
