Chronicles of the Mentally Ill

If you're here, you've probably been here before, in some way or another. Complicated, dark feelings. Or feelings so light you might be drifting away.

Regardless, welcome! And know that you are seen and appreciated for whatever way you interpret these poems. Feel free to share your personal stories or interpretations if you feel the desire to. I like to hear about others' experiences, just like you probably do if you're here! Besides, it helps us to get out of the echo chamber a little bit.

Disclaimer #1: Check the tags and read at your own discretion. This collection is rated as mature because of potentially triggering themes. Stay safe, y'all. <3

Disclaimer #2: These poems were written from a very personal and genuine place. So, they might not be relatable to everyone or may sometimes feel like context is missing!

Disclaimer #3: For the concerned, I only post the darker poems once the feeling has long passed, and been processed. The writing is how I cope in the moment, and reviewing and posting them later is how I remind myself that the hard things do pass. Time, and effort. It never goes away, but it gets easier to handle. It gets better.
