I am a self-published Canadian author who is studying to do my Master in Social Work in the UK. I started posting my poems following a serious car-crash in August 2016. My work centers around mental health, love, relationships and recovery. I am fascinated by the complexity and resilience of the human spirit and allow my experiences and the experiences of others around me to inspire my writing. I love reading poetry, mystery, fantasy and young-adult fiction. My favourite author is Haruki Murakami.

“I crave stillness,
And yet I fear the moment
Stillness turns into boredom,
And the moment boredom
Turns into loneliness.”
Chris Mc Geown, Dead of Night

“The only person
You shouldn't be able
To live without
Is you.”
Chris Mc Geown

“they were two reasons I was scared to let people in; the damage they could do, and the damage they could find”
Chris MC Geown

“I crave stillness,
And yet I fear the moment
Stillness turns into boredom,
And the moment boredom
Turns into loneliness.”
Chris Mc Geown, Dead of Night

“Love speaks to
The soul
In a language
The brain
Can’t comprehend.”
Chris Mc Geown, Dead of Night

“The only person
You shouldn't be able
To live without
Is you.”
Chris Mc Geown

“She was the kind
Of complicated
That people got lost in;
They all wanted to save her,
But all she wanted
Was love.”
Chris Mc Geown

“There was a tale he had read once, long ago, as a small boy: the story of a traveler who had slipped down a cliff, with man-eating tigers above him and a lethal fall below him, who managed to stop his fall halfway down the side of the cliff, holding on for dear life. There was a clump of strawberries beside him, and certain death above him and below. What should he do? went the question.

And the reply was, Eat the strawberries.

The story had never made sense to him as a boy. It did now.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods
