The Cemetery In My Mind

The Cemetery In My Mind is the second book in The Mind Trilogy, a dark, deeply personal collection of poetry and fragmented prose exploring grief, trauma, and the lasting impact of loss. Where Life Through Two Minds introduced a fractured inner world, this book steps into the places where that world keeps its dead, memories, identities, and versions of the self that never made it out. These poems move through emotional landscapes shaped by suicide loss, parental illness, childhood trauma, and the quiet ways pain continues long after the moment has passed. The cemetery in this book is not only a metaphor. It is the mind itself, filled with names, moments, and wounds that refuse to rest. This collection explores: • grief and bereavement • losing a loved one to suicide • childhood trauma and emotional neglect • depression, anxiety, and complicated mourning Some pieces feel like standing at a grave. Others feel like speaking to the past and not knowing if it will answer. This book is for readers who connect with: • poetry about grief and loss • books about trauma and memory • mental health and emotional survival • writing that allows sorrow to exist without forcing closure This is not a book about healing in neat stages. It is about learning to live with what is gone, and carrying it forward. Content Warning This book contains themes that may be distressing to some readers, including: • childhood abuse • suicide loss • trauma and its psychological effects
