THE FRACTURED EGO
Book I in the "Ego Anthology"
Expressions and ramblings by a Fractured Ego...
"Ego = the process of the mind which mediates the unspoken from the spoken
Self-worth, Self-esteem, reality, inner thoughts blurred, frayed, or broken." ~KG Petrone
Have you suffered a traumatic event in your life that has caused you to suffer internally (ie; grief, heartache, regret, etc.) or do you suffer from an invisible illness, such as depression, OCD, PTSD, etc? This anthology expresses some of these conditions which have affected the sufferer or the "Ego."
I have published these poems in the hopes that they might inspire, comfort, provoke thought or raise awareness. For me, I originally wrote this collection as a way to purge all my deepest and hidden thoughts, emotions and rants but while doing so, I found them to be a surprising journey of recovery. Thus, I have chosen to share my inner voice while continuing my journey "Healing Thru Words."

~KG Petrone
I am a mother of three and have two precious grandchildren. I am a true blue born and raised Jersey Girl. I finally bought a home and have relocated to the Northeast Mountains of Pennsylvania, where I live a humble life with my loving husband, Frank, and our treat hunting pups, Rambo and Dazie.
“I would much rather live among the ‘imaginary monsters’ found on the big screen and in books vs the real ones depicted on the ten o’clock news.”

From the heart and mind of K.G. Petrone, comes a poetry collection that deals with a greater practical understanding of life and draws much more pertinence to modern-day issues. Basically, “The Fractured Ego” is a road map for Life and how it affects our choices—past, present, and future.
The cathartic nature of writing and the near-religious experience that authors and poets go through to give birth to their work is so well expressed in Petrone’s poem titled, “Healing Through Words”. As a person who suffers from ADHD and a touch of OCD, I personally found it difficult not to relate directly to her poem “Being Me”. This work expands on the emotional conflicts of coping with a disability while trying hard to follow a routine course in everyday life—The discovery made is that there is no routine. “Get Over It” deals with PTSD and the assumption by others that, someday, one will be able to forget their trauma and move forward like nothing ever happened.
Surprising additions to this collection are the poet’s tributes to 9/11 and the ensuing war that followed. Petrone’s touching and personal pieces, “The Soldier”, “The Twins”, and “Land Of the Free”, address the issue with candidness and great insight.
“The Fractured Ego” speaks to the soul in each of us—It plunges into topics that are usually pushed down and safeguarded by those who suffer from illness, heartache, loss, and depression while seeking to present the inner struggle to pursue long-time goals in a whole new light. I highly recommend this poetry collection for anyone who has experienced a full life—It definitely puts it in perspective.
