"Save Me an Orange, Save My Soul: Bitter to Sweet" by Crystal Shivers is a deeply moving poetry collection that explores themes of healing, self-discovery, and the realities of mental health. What started as a focus on the first two phases of her struggles transformed over three years into a full journey through Shivers' evolving thoughts and emotions.
Divided into five phases, the collection guides readers from moments of doubt and self-pity through self-reflection, healing, and ultimately, empowerment. Each section captures the challenges of facing inner battles, embracing self-love, and finding the courage to grow.
These poems speak to anyone who has felt lost, heartbroken, or in need of comfort. With vivid imagery and honest words, Shivers touches on mental health, personal growth, and resilience. Inspired by poets like Rumi and contemporary voices, this collection offers hope and a reminder that even the darkest times can reveal moments of sweetness.
