"I deserve my torment. The world deserves the beauty built from it."
43 letters. 9 months. One devastating fight for the right to exist.
Letters To Myself: Volume I is the urgent, chronological confession of Justin King, documenting a single, acute period of psychological crisis that almost ended his life. Beginning with the initial shock of suicidal ideation on May 22, 2024, and ending with a broken acceptance on January 17, 2025, this book is a raw, unflinching descent into depression, rage, and the soul's fight for survival.
This is not just poetry. This is war documented with masterful precision.
King, who claims the mantle of the 21st century's most technically rigorous writer, uses dense internal rhyme and controlled cadence to perfectly mirror the chaos in his mind. The relentless, racing rhythm of the verse is the structured cage holding the collapse. Read the crisis. Witness the mastery.
