About this listen
“I was twelve when they locked me away. They didn’t give me therapy though. They gave me trauma.”
Broken Doll is a brutally honest collection of poetry and artwork created from inside the walls of psychiatric institutions. Written by Michelle, a survivor who spent her entire adolescence sectioned in mental health units, this book lays bare the pain, confusion, and silent fury of growing up in a broken system. Through raw, emotionally charged poems and haunting original artwork, Michelle documents years of systemic abuse, isolation, and resistance. The result is not just a cry for justice—but a refusal to stay quiet. For listeners who have survived institutionalisation, battled for mental health, or felt silenced by the very systems meant to protect them—this book speaks directly to you. If you are drawn to poetry about trauma, healing, and the dark truths behind locked doors, Broken Doll is a voice you won’t forget.
