A boy becomes a silence.
A man becomes a mouthful of ghosts.
And somewhere between memory and metaphor, a voice learns to exist.
Built From What Didn't Happen is the raw, haunting debut of poet
Goliath LXIX -a collection of 52 poems carved from absence, discipline, unsaid words, and the echoes of survival.
Each chapter dives deep into a different wound:
- A father who was never there.
- A home where obedience meant safety.
- A mother who smiled instead of seeing.
- Loves that felt like warmth until they burned.
- A boy so quiet, he almost disappeared.
And between the lines, something else waits.
A message hidden in plain sight-
a trace of breath across glass.
A book that waits to be felt.
For the unseen. For the unheard. For the unfinished.
This is for you.
