Our Shadow Selves

By J.M. Mills

Locked in emotions our minds can dream, remember, construct or believe. Existing in reality or imagination this poetry collection thrives on visions from the soul.

Escapism at its best, wondering in and out of illusion and truth, everyone has something to connect to, remember or dream of.

Fantasy, love, loss and hope. Dreaming in the shadows of our mind, remembering the darkness and hoping in the sun. Each poem succinct in its fortitude to digress into the deepest corners of our minds.

Our Shadow Selves is truth and fiction. The fact is it does not matter except that it exists and can fade or come to pass.

Determine your own path, take with you what you need and learn from what has helped you grow.

J.M. Mills

Writing my First Novel, undertaking my first screenplay and loving life by writing my poetry and fantasy. I am in my happy place. My road has taken me far from where I had been and loved, to where the normal live and tolerated, back to being in love with storytelling, music and poetry. All my very first loves: Theatre acting, singer/ songwriter / poetry / writing and reading. I acted in theatre at a young age to which I was fortunately able to travel overseas. I learned to play the piano for seven years. I have been a high school teacher (business and computing - can you believe), learned Karate, sang in a band (writing songs and performing on stage), then received my Masters in Professional Accounting and got my Chartered Accounting ticket in Australia. Now living in Perth Western Australia, I have done a lot for one so young, but onward and upwards I say. Following my dreams and trying to keep it real.
