Synopsis

Overcompensating: The Teen Gaze is a coming-of-age poetry collection about being soft in a world that demands sharpness. It's about girlhood, grief, performance, screens, survival, and everything we carry when we're told we're "too emotional" or "too much." These are poems for the ones who laughed too loudly, loved too quietly, and felt like they had to earn their worth. If you've ever overthought a text, romanticized your own sadness, or tried to shrink to fit - these pages are yours too. Tender, unfiltered, and fiercely self-aware - this is what it looks like when a bruise learns how to speak...
