Kissing Catastrophe is not simply a collection of poems. It explores the nuances and complexities of the age-old, hard-to-answer question: how can I love others when I can't love myself?
Self-love is a concept that the author has always had difficulty grasping, whereas loving others has always come naturally. Kissing Catastrophe tackles this internal battle in two parts: The Kiss, which highlights the kind of love she freely gives and feels for the people in her life--even the ones who are no longer in it; and The Catastrophe, which delves into all the reasons she's afraid she can't be loved the way she loves, and all the frustration and misery that comes with that debilitating loneliness. She ultimately draws the conclusion that no matter her past, no matter her pain, she is worthy of unconditional love.
Kissing Catastrophe is a relatable, introspective must-read for anyone struggling to find love within themselves in the aftermath of love gone horribly wrong.
Some nights, I don't mind the silence.
I find myself there, better off somewhere
that isn't where you left me.
I find I am beautiful in the silence
like I could never be in your presence.
In that silence, I've found peace.
