Description
She was the mirror. She became the monster. Now she writes her way out.The Mirror Monster is a poetic testimony of survival, silence, and soft rebellion. Through twelve hybrid pieces—part poem, part confession, part clinical case file—Olwethu unpacks the emotional labor of being the firstborn: the blueprint, the glue, the good girl.This is not a cry for pity. It’s a reckoning. A farewell to the child who carried it all. And a soft landing into joy.For anyone who’s ever felt like the strong one, the responsible one, the one who couldn’t fall apart—this book is for you.
