About the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts by Megan Diedericks
gray, empty
but i let the words grow
and my heart, i let show
but with separation came
the anxiety, the pain, the journey
within confinement.
i wasn’t ever my own
and my many faces had me so alone,
i thought i might drown.
it started before i even knew what puberty meant:
at twelve, i wrote my first lines.
now, at twenty, i want you to read my warning signs.
“the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts” is Megan Diedericks’ debut poetry collection. It encapsulates her journey with heartache, loss, grief and self-perception.
[content warnings: blood, gory descriptions, body horror, suicidal thoughts, grief, mentions of depression and anxiety (none of these are too explicit, but still keep in mind)]
