Lucid Dreams and Wanted Nightmares

"Torn between lucid dreams and his most wanted nightmares, he tried to find the long-lost light and grow the flowers of his mind." *** Lucid Dreams and Wanted Nightmares is a raw and honest journey through the mind, exploring the struggles, fears, and triumphs of mental health. Written by a male poet seeking to break the silence around men's mental health, this collection shines a light on emotions often left unspoken. Through moments of despair and bursts of resilience, the poems navigate the duality of life - the clarity of lucid dreams and the chaos of unwanted nightmares. Divided into three parts, Lucid Dreams and Wanted Nightmares moves from the confusion and pain of mental turmoil, through the fight for healing, to the rebirth and strength symbolised by the phoenix. Can anxiety and depression ever be eradicated for good, or are they merely anchored at bay, waiting to resurface again?
