life - horrifyingly poetic. Life is a Story - story.one

as soon as nightfall sets in, my mind starts racing. i don't sleep. i'm thinking about life. about love. about pain. about the things life still has to offer. why shouldn't i write them down? why shouldn't we give our thoughts the space they need? this poetry book's about lifeit's about real lifemaybe it's mainly about its heavy sidesbecause we tend to neglect talking about the bad partssociety wants us to only share the perfect-life-storiesso i came here to destroy all their expectations by talking about [my] life in a realistic wayi want to place some trigger-warnings rightaway:in this book, i will mention> panic attacks, suicide, self-harm, anxiety, depression, addiction, sexual abuse, eating disorder
