'Parts of Me’
I spent the last 7 years of my life struggling to exist
even though no one was fighting me. I was fighting with myself.
Alone against everyone. Alone against everything.
Then I sat down and wrote the book.
I've decided to share some of my experience, some of my struggle,
with the world - I've included my white poems, or non-poetry as I
call them with my closest friend, from recent years, some photos
from a film camera from recent months, as well as photos of me
(as they've been in my notebooks), my and others' thoughts, others'
poetry, and lyrics I've found appropriate for myself at this
particular time.
Everything that is mine is without quotes, everything quoted
has quotes, or I just put the author's name underneath.
In the book, almost every page is an exact copy of a page from the notebooks I've been writing in since I was 16.
I should point out that I don't see depression as a part of me, although for quite a long time it was.
The parts of me are the white poems, the thoughts, and the pictures that I have posted. That is. That's why the book is titled 'Parts of Me' - the ones I've collected along the way, after losing myself more than once, to build the Me I am today.
