ATLANTIS
Poems from the Unquiet Mind
This book is a journey through the parts of myself I thought I had lost. These poems come from the quiet hours, the heavy days, the moments when my own mind felt like a place I no longer recognised. They are pieces of the descent and the slow rise, the sinking and resurfacing, the ruins and the rebuilding.
Atlantis is the name I gave to the version of me that went under. The girl I keep searching for. The home I am still trying to reach. These poems trace the path back to her, room by room, thought by thought, until the water begins to clear.
It is a book about mental health, about losing yourself and learning to breathe again, about fear and softness and the small victories that keep us moving. It is a collection for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected or quietly breaking behind a smile.
If you have ever gone looking for the part of you that disappeared, I hope these pages remind you that you are not alone. And that even the sunken places can be found again.
