The Monster Under My Bed: An insomniac's poetry collection
In this collection of poetry, I share the thoughts and feelings that come to my mind as I lie awake, unable to sleep, and the inherent darkness that comes with being an insomniac. With Edgar Allan Poe as my greatest poetry inspiration, this collection explores fears and anxieties that feel never-ending. This collection contains a wide variety of poems inspired by betrayal, loss, and nighttime, among other things. While these poems acknowledge and relate to our darkest feelings, they also offer some hope that the darkness cannot always win and the sun will rise again.
