      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.

      And I Close My Eyes - Hailey Marie

      Author’s Note

      This poetry collection is a peek into the healing process I went through to overcome past trauma, mental health issues, and the disasters of everyday life including heartbreak and stress. These poems range from being very dark to being very positive and hopeful because that is how healing works. Although my collection progresses in a straightforward line, my healing was not like that. Progress and healing is a very curvy path that includes steps forward and steps backward over and over again before you make it to the end. I stress this here and in my final thoughts because that is a difficult lesson to learn, one that I did not learn on my own. I arranged this collection this way so that hope was easy to find when you needed it, and so poems about fighting or fear and despair were easy to find when you needed to feel heard and less alone, because we all need that sometimes - even when it hurts. Although this collection makes it seem like my journey is over, it’s not. Mentally healing and overcoming mental health issues is very difficult and it takes much time and patience. It is a battle that will start back up every now and then when it feels the need to. I overcame the most difficult part, which was finding my footing and getting on the right path. I took the steps to get help and participated in working toward my hope, and in the end, it was all worth it. I have many more good days than bad days, and every time I work past a period of struggles, it gets easier when they stop by again. It gets easier every time I prove to myself that I can do it. My journey may never be over, but the hard part is, and if you are in the
