WHAT'S LEFT OF ME: Poems of a dead soul

by Ticus Poetry

What's Left of Me, explore a powerful collection of poems that delve into the darkest corners of the human experience– self-harm, suicide, loss, death, heartbreak, and self-hate.

These poems are a reflection of my fragmented emotions, written in a state of vulnerability and chaos, without the confines of structure or order. Each piece resonates with the raw intensity of feeling, capturing moments of despair and fleeting glimmers of hope.

They are not categorized or divided, mirroring the disarray of the heart and mind during times of struggle. This collection invites you to confront the complexities of pain, to find understanding in the chaos, and to discover that even in the depths of sorrow, there is a shared humanity. Join me on this emotional journey and let the words speak to the unspoken battles we all face.

raw & real

While this poetry collection is heavy and heartbreaking to read and may be too much for some, I for one, appreciate the author’s bravery and willingness to go where won’t. To be honest about the dark realities of living with mental illness, the struggle to live another day, and the fight to stop hurting ourselves. I relate with this collection and if you also relate, then this book will remind you you are not alone. And isn’t that what we all long for — to know we are not alone in our pain.

Almost everything in it is insanely relatable and I love the stuff at the end.

I'm rating this book because I've read all his three books and all I can say is he knows everything in my head as if he lives in there... A little warning his poetry is really dark so if you feel uncomfortable don't go for this book. I love love you TICUS❤

[James Ames]

Many of these poems made me feel seen. It is hard to describe how one is feeling sometimes and these help me understand that I am not alone. Even though I did not write the words on the page I feel as if they are being pulled from inside my mind.

[Jason Morrison]

A poignant and beautiful collection of poetry written from the darkest of depths. For anyone struggling with depression and/or self-harm, I would urge reading this with caution. While it’s beautiful writing, it is also quite dark. I’m glad that I purchased this as it will be one I read again.

Pure perfection!!

[Cinder]

I could feel this pain in my soul and could really relate to a lot of it. Hoping putting these words to paper was cathartic for the author.
