This poetry collection explores mental health, with a particular focus on depression and the daily realities of living with it. It examines the stigma, judgment, and pressure surrounding mental illness, and the ways these forces shape self-perception and silence suffering. Alongside this, the collection reflects on themes of friendship, home, and belonging, questioning where safety and understanding can truly be found.
The poems also engage with faith, exploring the complex and often painful relationship with God during periods of mental struggle, how belief can falter, how doubt grows, and how faith becomes difficult to hold when the mind feels fractured. Together, these poems form an honest and intimate reflection on pain, connection, and the search for meaning in the midst of emotional hardship.
