BEFORE I LIE
Poetry That Bleeds, Heals, and Speaks Truth
Before I Lie — A lyrical poetry collection by Dralandra Larkins
A fusion of Afrofuturistic poetry and confessional prose that makes honesty celestial. These pages don’t just perform—they testify, before silence swallows what was never meant to be buried. Available in Paperback, eBook, and Audiobook.
