Destination Unknown: Somewhere between lost and becoming

By Markus Tenisons

Destination: Unknown is a raw and intimate collection of poetry and reflective prose that explores what it means to live inside a mind shaped by trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm and to still keep moving forward anyway.

Through fragmented thoughts, vivid imagery, and unfiltered honesty, Markus Tenisons captures the quieter realities of mental health that often go unseen: the internal spirals, the dissociation from self, the weight of expectations, and the small moments of grounding that break through the noise. Each section moves through emotional states rather than a linear narrative, reflecting the unpredictable nature of healing and survival.

This book does not offer simple answers or neatly packaged recovery. Instead, it sits in the in-between where pain and awareness coexist, where reflection replaces resolution, and where understanding begins not with fixing, but with noticing.

Divided into thematic parts, Destination: Unknown moves through darkness, self-perception, the outside world, and the smallest moments that quietly hold a person together. It is a journey through fragmentation toward self-awareness, written in a voice that is direct, vulnerable, and deeply personal.

Content Warning:
This collection includes references to trauma, mental health struggles, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, eating-related distress, and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

For readers who have ever felt overwhelmed by their own thoughts, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to put internal experiences into words. This book offers recognition, not instruction.
