Guilt, depression and anger. The griefing process is not easy. The memories about the love of her life haunt Maya. Wanting to live in the past, she is letting the present pass by. When she has to face her past, will she be strong enough or will it break her?

Here you will be reading through a life filled with the uncomfortable reality that not everything might be as good as it seems to be.

What is life if not a tragedy? "The Things I Lied About" takes you into a place of dark, thought-provoking psychological poetry that lingers with you even after you have put the book down. With its short- to mid-length poetry, The Things I Lied About is focused on different aspects of life and emotions that are with us through the journey. Loosely inspired by Greek tragedies, it attempts to reduce humans to nothing more than their roots and forces them to accept the carnage that each and every one of them is capable of. Would you still be the person you are now if it weren't for this society?

Somewhere in the English countryside, two childhood friends meet by a lucky twist of fate. Tessa is a young university student who feels hopelessly lost in the endlessness of the world. Spencer is a dedicated athlete who has been ripped from his predetermined track by the universe. Both feel lost. Both seek a thread of hope to hold on. They will learn that sometimes, the only person able to provide support is the one they least expect it from. As summer passes and conversations go by, their shared history clears up, long-buried feelings reawaken and lives are changed forever.

The human brain has a necessary tendency to connect dots, to make a whole out of parts, to see stories everywhere. What kind of stories can you find in here? This poetry collection is for all the souls who seek more in less, for whom three words can mean more than a whole dissertation - the language lovers, whose heart yearns for epiphany in choice words. Experimenting with different forms and non-forms, the author seeks to find truth and beauty in the vast spectrum of human experience: as bodies - in nature - in community - as self.

Poems about different Facades of Life, about different Facades of Me. Eine Sammlung von Gedichten, die verschiedene Facetten des Lebens widerspiegeln sei es Liebe, Selbstliebe, Hass, Trauer oder Wut. Diese Gedichte sollen zeigen, wie gleich wir Menschen tief im Inneren sind und dass wir alle aus unterschiedlichen Facetten bestehen. Diese Facetten unterscheiden uns, aber sie zeigen uns auch, wer wir sind und wie ähnlich wir uns sind. Denn jede Emotion, die wir Menschen empfinden können, ist wertvoll, und wir sollten dankbar dafür sein, dass wir diese Gefühle erleben und daraus lernen können.

Desiderium: a feeling of longing, of loss or grief for something lost. Each life has its own story, painted with different shades of all sorts of colours. People come and go, as does the memories and emotions along with them. In what ways do you cope? How often do you take your life in your own hands? Would it end up in a story you're proud of?
