The Words That Bleed

The Words That Bleed is a volume of poems and original illustrations that reflects on life’s journey in a bold way, reminding everyone who is battling their own challenges that they are seen.

…Strength is a mixture of things.

In some ways, strength can be determined by how hard it is to knock you down,

 but the measuring factor is how many times you manage to get back up even with weight on your shoulder…

The Words That Bleed interlaces many elements to form a gripping story of loss, adoration, betrayal, and self-discovery as it explores various sentiments. Encouraging others to digest life in a new way, this book provides a space for others to dream so that they may embrace the possibilities ahead of them.

Within the lines inspired by the bowels of an ever-busy imagination, The Words That Bleed uses a range of emotions to create a transfixing illustration of life experiences. As a continuation of Delaney’s first collection of poetry, The Truth That Hides, she inspires others to look beyond their own view. No matter how far you have to search for good, it’s sprinkled all around you. Waiting for its recognition.
