These poems invoke waves of emotions, pulling you in before spitting you out - exhausted, and never the same as you were before. They will open old wounds and help to heal new ones. They will force you to confront your own experience and that of those around you. These poems helped repair my soul and regain my spirit through heartbreak, abuse, mental illness, and loss. I hope they can do the same for you. In a sea of darkness, know that you are not alone, and that it's okay to not be okay.
