A Dyslexic Haiku
A Poem About An Eclectic Life And What Lies Beneath...
Welcome! I am currently editing the final touches for my first book of poetry. I never really enjoyed writing, but I promised my brother that I would someday write a book detailing my harrowing escapades through the world of psychiatric medications and also the adventures and emotional journeys of it all, both on and off medications.
Another friend in school urged me to write at least 30 pages by the summer of 2019, which I skimped around by writing an epic poem. Not quite the Iliad, however, I am proud of my work and accomplishment. If you've every wondered what it would be like to have mental illness, or you have a loved one who is going through it right now, this book is for you.
I delve into my fantasy life where often times, you can't tell where you are, in real life, or in fantasy?
As a trauma survivor, I 've learnt to cope with a variety of mechanisms--escape into fantasy is just one coping strategy I use. I hope with this book to elevate the consciousness of those who don't understand mental illness and just want a window into the madness...
Let me take you on a wild ride... come along!
