About the Book
This collection spans twenty years of my life. For the longest time, these words lived within scraps of paper, tucked away in shoe boxes, or buried in the notes on my phone. I never considered putting them all into a book until recently, but once the idea took hold, I couldn't let it go. I wanted to bring these words together into something tangible-something I could hold in my hands and say, This is me. I made this.
But this book is more than just a collection of poetry. It is a release-a way to finally let go of the pain that once held me captive, keeping me bound to suffering. After all these years, I have processed the hurt and confusion, and now I am ready to move forward. Some of these words no longer reflect how I feel, while others still resonate deeply.
Writing has always been my rawest form of expression-unfiltered, unprocessed, created in the heat of the moment. Often, I wouldn't even understand how I felt until I saw the words staring back at me from the page. This process has been both my refuge and my revelation, allowing me to make sense of emotions I didn't always have the words for.
At its core, this book is for me-a symbolic closing of one chapter and an opening to whatever comes next. But it is also for you, the reader, and for anyone who finds comfort or inspiration in these words-or even just a moment of reflection. I have poured myself into these pages, and I ask that you approach them with gentleness, knowing they hold pieces of a person who was searching, questioning, and feeling deeply.
This book is a journey through five chapters, each exploring a distinct theme: depression, abstract thoughts, the world and society, love and heartbreak, and sex.
Many of the pieces within this collection hold layered meanings, with some revealing entirely different
interpretations depending on how they are read. Even the contents page holds meaning beyond what it seems- perhaps you'll notice!
I hope this book reminds you to pause, to breathe, and to observe the world around you. I hope it encourages you to think more, question more, feel more, and never lose sight of what truly matters.
