READER DISCRETION ADVISED
This collection of poems explores a wide range of emotions and experiences. Many of the poems contain mature themes, including references to mental health-related issues, suicide, self-harm, abuse, violence, war, and death. Poems marked with a [E] contain explicit language and content.
Be prepared to encounter darkness in these poems. More importantly, be ready to challenge feelings and beliefs of hopelessness, worthlessness, shame, and despair. These poems will challenge those feelings because the truth is that healing is possible for you and everyone. These poems will expose darkness and remind us to look for and offer glimpses of resilience, strength, faith, love, and hope, even when — and perhaps especially when — you feel overwhelmed by the darkness in your life.
These poems are my journey. They might not be your exact experiences, but you will find yourself in the poems, connecting the words to your situation. I am thankful you are joining me on this journey. I can’t wait for us to connect.
Oh, and you should read this out loud.
