Description:In January 2021, Instagram followers were invited to message author David Tensen with a life story they wanted made into a poem. More than 60 people wrote in with stories spanning divorce, loss, trauma, parenting, ableism, same-sex attraction, suicide, PTSD, parenting, religious shame and more. Drawing from deep empathy, and with a desire to give dignity and voice to those often shamed and ostracised, David wrote a collection of poems every day for twenty-one days. This special collection of 25 poems is a tribute to the common loss and hope we all share. This is David's second poetry collection. His best-selling debut 2020 collection, 'The Wrestle', is also available worldwide The following is a poem from the collection. It features in the chapter, 'On Marriage': FOR THE ONE WHO WAS BETRAYED (To the betrayer) There is a tree by our home that fell in a storm on the path I walked to belonging. I assumed this was our path, and perhaps it was, but the storm - that was your betrayal. Torn from the earth. Branches broken. Leaves strewn like confetti on our wedding day. Roots, now exposed, shamefully waving at passers-by, remind me of what was sown in secret. Trunk, now splintered, piercing those who dare to pry, remind me of your unrepentant reasoning. I've been tempted, more than once, to nest in the wreckage but you won't find me there. Instead, I'll be in the forest forging new paths through forgiveness and a fog of grief, vowing to love myself more than you ever did.
