An Ode to Seroquel

Mental illness. A toxic mother. Destructive relationships. Freedom. These poems seek to understand and heal from a childhood left wanting, that created an adult that didn't know how to say no, and the pain it took to walk away for good. Sprinkled throughout the tragic circumstances are bright specks, however, that signaled all was not lost for good, and provided the hope to make the changes needed to be free.
