From the Back Cover

My skin is iron grates on prison windows
miles and miles of metal trapping spirit in little rusted cracks
when rainbows spill from forbidden crevices into runoff on dirty city streets
they paint murals on abandoned buildings
blood streaked across a darkening sky
this is real art from shattered hopes and heartbreak

About the Author

Perry Kay is a dark and twisty writer and poet. Her first love will always be 'words'. Growing up you could find her reading cereal boxes during meals and writing silly poems about Science or History. Her friendscalled her the walking dictionary and she had a full-time job writing everyone else's essays.
In her adolescent years, Perry was diagnosed with Mental Illness, including Depression, PTSD, and Anorexia. She's been to "Grippy Socks Jail" (psych ward) more times that she can count. She loves bringing her struggles to life using vivid imagery in her poetry. The majority of her poems, written in psych wards; depict what most can't describe. The struggles inside a brain of someone struggling with mental health is too complex to be written out. Perry uses strange metaphors to bring her pain alive. Sometimes it's hard to find the meaning in her abstract expressions but she likes it that way. She wants you to decide what this poem means to you. When Perry writes, all herdefenses melt away and it's just her and the paper. So, welcome to the secret world of Perry's brain.

Pain Begets Wisdom

"But what if my heart won't attach to the ones it's supposed to love
and what if my hands want to create something different
and what if I wasn't made to belong"

I absolutely love the poetry in this book, which makes me feel a bit uneasy, as how can one enjoy art born from so much pain? Yet such is the beauty of Perry's book, which transforms anguish into acumen, pain into pulchritude, and a collection far greater than the sum of its parts.

One might certainly glean Perry's story from her words, yet knowledge of the author's background is not required to delight in her works. Her pain will resonate through anyone with a heart, for she has clearly seen many worlds of hurt. But from this agony, she has grown wise and is very self-aware of both her gifts and limitations. She is "drowning in a sea of so much me," a line which I feel can be relatable to anyone, as though we face many challenges and obstacles in life, we are our own greatest hindrance to success.

I will admit there are a few typos and formatting errors in this book, but do not let them dissuade you from reading Perry's poems. She is a truly gifted artist and I believe she has so much further to go in life.

Five stars is not enough, but it’s what Amazon makes the maximum. This book is exquisite. I’ve added it to my professional library, which mainly consists of educational books for my clients to rent out. This one is too good to not include as well. We cannot help but support active, intentional healing. ✨

I have absolutely no words how to describe this book. Each sentence is so deep which made me feel so understood. I really hope more books are being published in the near future because this book was definitely the truest mental health book I've ever read
