In Greek mythology, Iris is the errand-running messenger of the gods. In anatomy, the iris is responsible for controlling the diameter and the size of the pupil, thus controlling the amount of light that reaches the retina.

The two are quite different; however, I believe there is something more than that. A correlation. A connection.

The anatomical iris sends the message of the light, the stimuli, the object - whatever that may be - to the retina, then to the brain. In an almost the same way, the mythological Iris sends the message of the gods and goddesses, the message of enlightenment.

This collection of poems is my Iris, my messenger that would herald and proclaim these bottled emotions I've kept for too long.

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!
