Poetry is an act of contrition. It's the art of looking at life in a painfully honest way. Poetry uses metaphors to capture life's intricate complications where plain, obvious and straightforward language fails.
This book explores those metaphors like the tax collector. Your difficult relationship is like an invisible tax collector taking its cut from your mental health bank account. Your stress is a mental health tax collector. Your fear of engaging with loss, pain, addiction, denial is your tax collector and it will keep collecting and collecting until you do something about it. Your mental health is taxed by what you avoid.
This is a book of poetry with the hidden agenda of helping you. The subversive purpose of this book is to help you engage with what you are most afraid to face. Embrace the discomfort. Become what life is shaping you into. Oh, and enjoy the poetry!
