Of Darkness & Light by Despoina Kemeridou

This collection of poetry does have a dark theme mentioning suicidal thoughts and idealisation so trigger warning here please do not read if it will upset you, take care. This collection of poems were sadly beautifully relatable as someone who has struggled with depression for years and dealt with suicidal thoughts at times and losing someone very close to me, these poems really resonated with me. The poem Painting smiles, was easily my favourite about overcoming the dark times together if possible before it overwhelms you and drastic action from the pain is taken. The book was dark but through the darkness can come light as perfectly portrayed here in this collection of poems.
