Some poems are written in ink. These were written in scars.
You know what it feels like to wake up and wish you hadn't. You know the weight of memories that no amount of sleep can erase, the voices that creep in at night, the labels that follow you from one doctor's office to the next. You have smiled through days when every breath felt like a battle. And you have wondered, in your darkest moments, if anyone in this world truly understands.
Someone does. In Innermost Moods, Mary S. Sabol breaks open decades of silence with raw, unflinching poetry born from childhood abuse, suicidal depression, trauma, and the long road toward reclaiming her life. These are not polished verses written from a safe distance. They are cries from the cold ground, prayers whispered in hospital rooms, and hard-won declarations of survival. From the haunting "Devil's Daughter" to the defiant "Burn, Bitch, Burn," each poem is proof that the unspeakable can be spoken, and that speaking it can set you free.
Inside these pages, you will find:
- Fearless honesty about depression, dissociation, and the daily fight to keep going
- A survivor's voice that refuses to let shame have the last word
- The reminder you desperately need: you are not alone, and healing is possible
This is not a book that looks away. This is the book that sits beside you in the dark and says, I know. I've been there too.
