    About this ebook

    The Museum of Broken Objects is a tour through the corridors of grief, loneliness, and self-destruction that come along with suffering an acute mental breakdown. This collection of poems navigate through a complex maze of objects and images like a museum of memory and feelings venturing into the darkest spaces and emerging out of it bruised but breathing at the end.

      It’s 4:38 P.M., eight minutes after I usually go home, but now I’m rooting around under my chair cushion, double-checking my shirt pocket, hunting for an unmarked baggie of white bars, which I shouldn’t have left in my office, which I shouldn’t have

      The Waiting Room

      May 10, 2023

      Overhead the lights hummed. They were bright and fluorescent, and they reflected off the clean white walls of the waiting room to produce the unsettling effect of being folded away inside a sheet of paper. Cross-legged on the floor by the door, the b
