"Melancholic and Other Poems" is a powerful debut collection by Nicholas Kyle Edwards that invites readers into a profound exploration of the complexities of mental health, particularly as experienced by adolescents. Through a strikingly unique freestyle form, this collection consists of twelve thought-provoking pieces that delve into themes of despair, vulnerability, and the human condition.
This collection is not just a reflection on pain; it is a journey towards understanding and acceptance. Each piece serves as a mirror, allowing readers to confront their own experiences while finding solace in shared emotion. Whether through poignant imagery or evocative prose, Edwards's work compels us to confront the delicate balance of light and darkness within us all.
Life is collectively referred to as a dark fantasy, although many of us attempt incorporating ideas in our head, searching for ways to escape reality. I for one believe anything that can befriend you, can kill.
Every creature has a dark side but mine doesn't have my best interests at heart, I mumble short prayers, locking all the doors and windows shut.
Every step I took upstairs, made the wooden stairs creek, I keep having this feeling am been followed but every time I look back, am left with goosebumps and my head increasing in size.
I swallowed an imaginary saliva down my throat and continue walking up slowly otherwise I will freak out and run upstairs, that will mess up my night.
If you know anything about darkness, you'll know it leaves no room for the weakest heart. This foreign presence happens whenever am home alone, I made a research on the life beyond and discovered that the level of one's fear determines how far we're willing to let the darkness in.
I gently crawl under the duvet and sleep on my right side facing the door, my heartbeat was accelerating, you could hear every beat of it. 2,3,4 minutes later, the gruesome feeling was gone and I accidentally took a nap that lasted for two minutes until my ears picked a creaking footstep 👣 approaching in the direction of my room, dragging a metal object on the wall, I froze on the bed.
I searched for my phone under the duvet and my eyes found it far on the table which was close to the door, this wasn't a normal circumstance so, my mind is blank.
"Do you wanna play", the voice said, sounding distant but very near. That was when I remembered all the short phrases used in horror movies, I stupidly find myself screaming them one by one.
Is anyone out there?
"Who the hell are you?"
Show yourself coward.
"What do you want from me?"
The noise died down and just when I thought it's over, the door to my room was kicked open with full force.
Seeking solace from her turbulent past, Clara arrives in the town of Everbrook, a place that feels too perfect to be real. Beneath its charm lies a world of hidden emotions, unspoken tensions, and unraveling truths. As Clara navigates the strange energy of the town and its mysterious inhabitants, she begins to feel the pull of threads that connect her to something deeper, something darker. When her connection to Amelia, a local with a mask of her own, intensifies, Clara must confront the haunting echoes of her past and decide if she can truly belong anywhere... or if Everbrook will unravel her completely.
"Beyond the Fractured Light" is a poignant and introspective poem that explores the human search for happiness, meaning, and emotional wholeness. Through vivid imagery and metaphors, the poem delves into the complexities of the human experience, revealing the fragility and beauty of the human spirit.
A poignant and darkly comedic exploration of the human experience, 'Chaotic Probiotic' delves into the contradictions and absurdities of life. With witty wordplay and unflinching honesty, the poem lays bare the struggles of navigating a seemingly meaningless world, where laughter and despair coexist in a delicate balance.
This is a true story, not a work of fiction. This is the story of an overdose I encountered and what I we all did to help.
