“But I'm already living the rest of my life
not under conditions of my choosing
wired into pain”
― Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“Harmless, by experts. Even the simplest poem
May destroy your immunity to human emotions.
All poems must carry a Government warning Words
Can seriously affect your heart.”
― Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“You ask me how I'm going to live
the rest of my life
Well, nothing is predictable with pain”
― Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“There are fires to be suffered
the blaze of cruelty, the smoulder
of inextinguishable longing, even
the gentle candleflame of peace
that burns too.

I suffer them. I survive”
― Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“Daydreaming comes easy to the ill:
slowed down to the speed of waiting rooms,
you learn to hang suspended in the wallpaper,
to drift among the magazines and plants,
feeling a strange love
for the time that might be killing you.”
― Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“A people sometimes will step back from war;
elect an honest man; decide they care
enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.”
― Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
