Poetry has always been a refuge—a place where emotions can be raw, unfiltered, and honest. When I began writing the Call of the Void series, I didn’t set out to create poetry for the sake of poetry. I set out to translate the things I couldn’t say out loud into something tangible.
Why We Write Through Pain
Pain is a universal experience, but it often feels isolating. Writing gives us a way to take that pain and shape it into something meaningful. Poetry, in particular, has the power to:
🌿 Capture Emotion in a Single Moment – A poem can distill an entire experience into a handful of lines, making every word resonate.
🌿 Offer Healing – Writing through struggles allows us to process them in a way that can be both cathartic and transformative.
🌿 Create Connection – The moment someone reads your words and says, “I feel this too,” you realize you’re not alone.
Call of the Void: A Journey Through Darkness and Light
The poems in Light the Demons and Sailing into My Enemies explore resilience, self-discovery, and survival. They are raw, unpolished truths wrapped in words—sometimes painful, sometimes hopeful, but always real.
Poetry isn’t about perfection. It’s about honesty. And sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is put our truth into the world and let it speak for itself.
What’s Next?
The Call of the Void series is far from over. More words, more emotions, and more moments of reflection are waiting to be written. If poetry has ever spoken to you in a way nothing else could, I invite you to join me on this journey.
