Cold World

Cold World is a raw and unflinching collection of spoken word poetry that lays every scar, every truth, and every rebirth on the page.
Through rhythm and revelation, Khalilah H. Purnell writes from the marrow, turning heartbreak, betrayal, and survival into art that doesn’t whisper, it testifies.

Told with the cadence of Love Jones and the conviction of Def Poetry Jam, these poems unravel what it means to love deeply, lose loudly, and still find light in the wreckage. Each piece stands as both wound and weapon — proof that healing doesn’t come from pretending the cold never touched you, but from standing in it and learning to breathe again.

Cold World is more than poetry — it’s a reckoning, a reminder, and a rebirth.
