In the quiet hours of heartbreak, confusion, and exhaustion, The Weight of Midnight was born. This deeply personal collection of poems captures the raw emotions of depression, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm - not as a cry for help, but as a form of survival. Written over the course of several years, each poem served as a lifeline, a way to process, release, and return to center when everything felt like too much. With unflinching honesty and delicate vulnerability, this book offers a window into the mind of someone who chose to feel deeply rather than numb out. These poems are not polished perfection - they are real, aching, and human. Whether you're in the middle of your own storm or just want to feel a little less alone, The Weight of Midnight is here to hold space for you. © 2025 Ultraviolet_321 (SBDSS). All rights reserved.

Maybe I needed to share the space with someone as broken as I am.
