Reader discretion is strongly advised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom teenage confusion to adult despair, these verses chronicle the visceral experience of living with an undiagnosed mind. They speak of demon voices and bleeding hearts, of addiction's grip and death's constant whisper, of love lost and hope shattered. There's no filter here, no attempt to soften the blow or make sense of senseless pain. These are the raw screams of a soul trying to survive itself, the unedited journal of a mind trying to understand why it feels broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems weren't written to be read. They were written to stay alive. They are the breadcrumb trail through years of darkness, each one marking another day of somehow making it through. In their unpolished truth, they stand as testament to every moment where giving up seemed inevitable - but wasn't chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is mental illness before diagnosis.
