What does 'tilting to the west' mean?    It is the moment we cease to stand upright in who we are,  even for a moment, a piece of ourselves for a day.. . a year . . . a lifetime. How?  Perhaps a critical comment,  gridlock on a life decision,  an accident that shrouds you in mists of negativity, the ending of a relationship. No? It might be the death of a dream,  personal isolation until you feel glacial; missing home or Mom. 

Many are battling in the war zone of chronic illness or disability until they don't remember 'Normal' or what 'Me' means. Others struggle to adapt to new roles, positions, or homes;  Millions are mourning the emptiness-crater a person's absence has created in their daily lives.

The poems within show  "tilting" in its various forms, both literal and figurative.  This collection includes poetry ranging from free verse to modern Japanese traditions (all written in English) including haiku, senryu, tanka, rengay, and haibun.  Why free verse and haiku / Japanese forms? Free verse represents the years and stages while haiku expresses the snapshot moments.

Trapped in my own head by WildImaginations16

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers! Ranking: #1 shortpoem #1 distressing #1 poetry (17.1.2024) #1 poem (24.1.2024)
