Darkening

By Annelie Janssen

Healing is rarely linear. It rises and falls. Fractures and mends.

In this poetry duet - Darkening and Floating, the poet separates the fragile, uneven path of healing experiences, while acknowledging the importance of every step made on her journey.

Each piece honours both the difficult days and the gentle ones, recognizing that growth is shaped by both. Through vulnerability and quiet strength, the poet records each turning point with honesty and care. This duet is a reminder that healing is not the absence of darkness, but the courage to carry both shadow and light within the same heart.

Darkening is an unfiltered descent into the heavier side of healing. The poet confronts grief, doubt, anger, and the quiet exhaustion that lingers beneath the survival. This collection of poems honours the reality that healing begins in the dark.
