A Swan in Black Lace - Gabriella Kurus

A Swan in Black Lace is my story told through poetry.

It begins with abuse, miscarriage, heartbreak, and toxic love. Rejection follows, along with the glittering nights of Los Angeles that shined bright... but left me empty inside. And finally, survival, spirituality, and the courage to face and choose myself. Because truth is, no matter how far you run, you can't escape yourself. Raw. Painful. Honest. If you've ever felt invisible, too much, or not enough, these words are for you.

"I stare into the night sky,
desiring to escape the world.
I miss being home with the stars,
floating upon the galaxy.
Where everything is peaceful,
and I can simply be."
-Gabriella Kurus
