Life can be painful, absurd, beautiful, infuriating—and sometimes all of those things at once.
Life's a Jerk (So Sing Anyway) is a heartfelt collection of poetry exploring trauma, grief, anger, love, spirituality, poverty, resilience, self-discovery, healing, and the beautifully complicated experience of being human.
Written across many seasons of life, these poems journey through rejection, sorrow, questioning, surrender, transformation, laughter, and hard-earned joy. Some may make you feel seen. Some may challenge the way you view yourself or the world. Others may simply remind you that you are not alone.
Rachel Patteson wrote these poems first as an act of personal healing—to express what she had not always felt permitted to say. She now shares them in the hope that her willingness to speak honestly about her own experience encourages others to honor theirs. Whether these poems help you feel seen, open your mind to a new perspective, inspire you to tell your own story, or simply offer a moment of laughter or reflection, her hope is that you leave feeling a little freer to be fully yourself.
Because life does not ask us to be perfect.
It asks us to be human.
And sometimes life's a jerk.
So sing anyway.
