Philophobia: At the Intersection of Love and Fear is an intimate exploration of the invisible walls we build and the courage required to tear them down. This poetry collection maps the journey of a heart caught between the ache for connection and the instinct for self-preservation.
The journey begins with Fabricated Love, voicing the safe romances we invent to escape a daunting reality. The narrative then shifts into Fighting Love, capturing the raw tug-of-war between a longing for intimacy and the paralyzing fear of being known. As the collection unfolds into Flawed Love, the verses step into the contradiction of craving affection while barring the door against those seeking entry. Finally, the collection reaches its resolution in Feeling Love. In these closing poems, resistance softens into an emotional awakening where fear is eclipsed by the desire to truly experience love rather than observe it from a distance.
