Animus

By Joel

This is not a book of comfort; it is a mirror-cracked, clear, and unflinching. These poems confront the raw truths we often hide, exposing the parts of ourselves shaped by regret, rage, care, and contradiction. Dark, direct, and deeply personal, this collection is both a confession and a confrontation, holding nothing back. It reminds us that we are not just one thing-that we are built from light and shadow, kindness and cruelty, mistakes and meaning. Every line is a piece of what's real, and none of it asks for forgiveness.
