    About this ebook

    These poems have been my saviour for many years now, and
    written with passion and deep meaning they have covered
    many diffi cult events in my life including things such as selfharm
    and depression, love and hate, and the most painful of
    all my miscarriage.
    I hope that if you are reading this as a way of understanding
    these then it helps you, and if your reading this because you
    have had these issues or can relate to my poems then I hope
    you feel inspired and understand that you dont have to deal
    with these things single-handedly.

    Grace Timms

    This is a book of some poems that I began writing when I was 15. They refl ect my emotions and thoughts and have acted as a self-help tool to prevent situations such as further self harm. My doctor recommended reading poems many years ago as each reader may have a different insight depending upon their mood and perception of the writing. If this book helps even one person not to feel alone or isolated then it has served its purpose. Many people have helped me when depressed and tried to stop things escalating further and some have stuck by me to this day, however I do truly believe that at times writing poems has become my deliverance.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
