Shards

Synopsis

'shards' Is William Bortz's Second Full Collection Of Poetry. It Is An Outstretched Hand To Anyone Left Behind In The Dark, And A Challenge To See The Path To Healing As One That Winds Through Discomfort. 'shards' Is Inspired By William's Fractured Past And Exists As A Journey From Disconnectedness And Grief To Self-love And Forgiveness. Having Spent Most Of His Childhood In Foster Care, Homeless, And Surfing Couch To Couch, He Explores The Difficulty In Walking With Anxiety And Beginning The Process Of Mending. With Lines Such As Can Leaving Ever Be An Act As Graceful As Slowly Fading To Morning And One Day I Decided To Take A Step And It Hurt Less Than Standing Still, William Leans Into That Discomfort In Order To Find Reconciliation With Himself And Others.
