Short Stay

"Explore the depths of the human mind with haunting verses that share tales within the walls of psychiatric hospitals. 'Short Stay' sheds light on mental illness and the fragile beauty of healing amidst the shadows."

This poetry collection is named Short Stay because, simply put, that is what this book is.
It is comparable to a short stay at a psychiatric hospital, where you are introduced to all different kinds of people and their disorders. This collection also serves as a short stay inside the minds of the mentally ill.

Written by a former psychiatric hospital patient, this poetry collection shares the harsh truths of hospitalisation.

Please be aware that this poetry collection touches on triggering subjects such as mental illness, self-harm, sexual assault, and suicide. Topics such as self-harm and suicide should never be romanticized. The poems written in this collection are fictitious representations of the severely unwell. Read at your own discretion and remember to practice self-care and look after your mental health needs.
