I'm Not My Story: A Poetic Journey of Healing is a poetry collection centered on healing, resilience, and the journey back to wholeness. Rooted in lived experience, Swamini B. writes about what it means to face the past without being defined by it. Through poetry, she separates what happened from who she is — reclaiming her identity with clarity and dignity. Divided into three sections — Turmoil, Insights, and Freedom — the collection traces the movement from silence toward self-acceptance. The poems bear witness to grief, anger, shame, and trust while honoring the gradual rebuilding of inner safety. I'm Not My Story does not turn away from the past. It meets it directly — and moves beyond it. This collection is for survivors, allies, and anyone seeking language for healing. It affirms the possibility of renewal. You are not what happened to you. You are who you choose to become.
