Synopsis

Elegies from a Fragmented Mind is not just a collection of poems—it's a map of survival, traced in ink and scar tissue.

I wrote these pieces across some of the hardest years of my life, through the chaos of bipolar disorder, the weight of depression, and the silence that follows a suicide attempt. This book was born in hospital beds, in therapy sessions, in sleepless nights staring at the ceiling wondering if I’d make it to morning. Every poem here is something I had to get out just to keep breathing.

This isn’t a pretty story. It’s raw, messy, angry, tender. It talks about meds that numb more than they help. About screaming into silence. About how sometimes survival feels like a betrayal. It speaks to anyone who’s ever felt like a burden, a ghost, a dragon chained by diagnoses.

But it also speaks to endurance.

If you’ve ever felt alone in the dark—this book is for you. If you’ve ever been told to “just be happy” while drowning—this book is for you. And if you’ve ever wondered whether anyone else understands what it’s like to keep waking up when every part of you wants to disappear—this book is for you.

I didn’t write these poems because I was healed. I wrote them because I wasn’t. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll see a piece of yourself in them—and feel a little less alone.
