Forever Plagued: This Mind of Mine is a poetic work of unrelenting emotional honesty. This collection of over one hundred poems, none longer than a page in length, serves as an atlas of a troubled mind. Though most of these poems are only a few lines long, they come at the reader like signs in the headlights of a speeding car on a desolate road. This collection is not broken into parts but rather flows from a single premise. The opening poems of the collection include "Despair Pollutes the Air," "Grief Speaks," and "Cursed," which set the heavy tone for the volume. Yet there is also "Unbroken," in which the speaker proclaims his resilience in the face of the emotional onslaught he faces. The poem "The Eve of Ending" describes a person contemplating suicide, staring at the abyss that lies beyond and stepping back from the precipice. There are also tender poems decrying the breakup of a relationship, including "This Memory of You Will Dissipate in Time," "A Hidden Treasure," and "Regretful Failure." These poems indicate the real-life stakes of those suffering from mental illness. This collection is a must read for those who face their own emotional struggles.
