About this ebook
Some Thoughts, Some Fiction, Some Truths, Some Therapy.
M.J. Queenan's debut poetry collection covering his feelings on life, the darkness that affects us all and thoughts on the modern world. He covers a number of topics from love to social media, to politics, to anxiety and depression, always trying to create a discussion or some thought-provoking response to what you're reading. The poems are also intertwined by two reflections between each, to try and make you question how you think about a number of other topics such as life, religion, sorrow, love and how we treat each other.

It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
