Inner Whispers: Writing My Way Out of Darkness (Whispers of the Soul: A Poetry Series.)

By Rachel Ann

Inner Whispers ~ Writing My Way Out of Darkness by Rachel Ann "I'd like to say that all of these poems are inspiring, light, and lovingly spiritual, but many of them are f****** hardcore. Some days I'm so in love, and other days I feel so low and heavy. More often than not, I'm struggling, caught up in the echoes in my head." Until now, Rachel would not have described herself as a poet, just a sensitive girl who found the strength to survive childhood and become an adult. Yet, it is sometimes the sensitives who become the true poets of the world. Often forged through the fire of a silent struggle, they live to feel love and truth. They tell the truth of the people too afraid to speak, of the heart hidden by a fearful world. By allowing their emotions to move words, they express what touches the soul- even if it hurts -- especially if it hurts. Stuffed inside a container too small to hold the collections of perception, sensitives exist in a constant battle between confinement and expression, until the experience threatens their life, and their only way out is through. This is Rachel Ann, the sensitive, the truth-teller, the poet. "I see the door, and I see the light. I've been able to step in it and feel it for brief moments, but then I'm pulled back into the dark." Inner Whispers are the echoes of the inner child stuck in the darkness, calling us to come get her. But we keep ignoring her, so she waits, looking at the light under the door. She longs to feel the light again, to be seen and heard and loved and free. "I've been holding in all of this, scared to put this book out, because some of these are going to trigger certain people. But it needs to come out, not only for me but, for others. I want them to know that someone understands them. The inner child trapped inside wants to come back out. I don't know the way yet. I'm still searching. In the meantime, I'll keep Writing My Way Out of Darkness."
