Built from Broken
By Porche Henderson
Built from Broken is a soul-bearing collection of poetry that explores the raw truths of pain, healing, and becoming whole again. In this debut work, Porche Henderson writes with vulnerability and courage, taking readers into the depths of heartbreak, unreciprocated love, childhood wounds, identity struggles, and the quiet victories of survival.
These poems are not polished fairy tales. They are honest, unfiltered reflections of what it means to live with trauma, to rebuild from ruins, and to speak the words you were once too afraid to say. Every page is a piece of the author's lived experience - stitched with emotion, grit, and the kind of strength that's earned through fire.
Built from Broken is for the ones who have cried silently behind closed doors, for those who feel too much and say too little, for anyone trying to hold themselves together in a world that keeps pulling them apart. It's a reminder that beauty exists in brokenness - and that even when your voice shakes, it still matters.
This book isn't just about pain. It's about rising.
It's about being seen.
It's about choosing yourself, again and again.
If you've ever felt like your story was too messy to matter, this book will show you that your scars are not shame - they are survival.
You may have been broken, but you are still here.
And you are still becoming.
