Poems You Read In The Dark

By Davennier Simmons

"Poems you read in the dark," a collection of poems that reflects my personal growth and exploration of writing over the past decade. These poems serve as a tool for self-reflection and personal development. My goal is to light introspection and contemplation in readers, leading to a greater sense of self-discovery and reassurance. The themes of existentialism, self-awareness, and mental health explored in this book are meant to provoke deep thought and leave a lasting impact.

My intention with this collection is to challenge the stereotype that poetry is always sorrowful. "Poems you read in the dark" is intended for the darkest moments in life, offering inspiring words to guide towards a healthier state of mind. Each poem aims to provide a safe space for reflection, closure, and wisdom. Thank you for allowing me to share these poems with you. I encourage you to approach each piece with an open mind and take the time to fully engage with the content.

Preface

It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you

Poems you read in the dark!

In this collection of poems, it showcases my personal evolution throughout a decade of exploring my passion for writing. These poems are instruments of change; the literary form of my own development and personal growth. I want to use my words to create endless thought provoking questions in the reader's mind. I hope that the reader develops a sense of self discovery and reassurance from my words transparency. This book explores themes such as existentialism, self awareness, and mental health. I touch on sensitive topics that are sure to leave an everlasting impression, and I hope, a permanent impact.

I wanted to challenge the common misconception about poetry which is that it inherently has a somberness. The Poems you read in the dark are for the darkest of times in your life. These inspiring words can be used to guide your thoughts into a healthier state of being, and mind. We all have a unique story that is indescribable and ever building. I want to offer this safe space as an option for closure, wonder, and wisdom. Thank you for allowing me to share these poems with you. Please keep an open mind, and take time to digest each work.
