This book came from the first poem I ever wrote, entitled "Mirrors." While nearly a decade has passed since I wrote the poem, I find it still relevant to my work as a poet today. Through multiple writing classes, I discovered that my poetry had changed in style. I also noticed that it often revolved around my mental health issues, or things that had contributed to those issues. Thus, I decided that, for my thesis, I would put together an entire collection. The idea was that it would follow a path from the beginnings and triggers of my mental health issues, down into the depths of depression and anxiety, and through to the other side, where lay the resultant identity crisis. Much of the book grapples with severe depression and suicidal thoughts, mostly in the middle portion. The final portion of the collection works through struggles with identity and how one may find it or come to terms with its indefinite nature.
