Bleak Optimism: A Collection Of Poems

by bleak m

Bleak Optimism is a collection of poems that I've written over the past few years. These poems delve into a lot of things that cross my mind regularly like love, loneliness, society, and death. Some poems tend to stay dark in tone whereas others show a brighter side to human emotion thus the name Bleak Optimism. These short poems started out much longer and helped me through some of my lowest points in life. I procrastinated on bringing these together for years and I know I'll never be fully happy with it but I learned something along the way. "Things take time. For the good or for the bad they take time. Healing is a process but things can hinder progress. Read the book you wanted to or listen to the album you haven’t. Call it investing in yourself. (I hope this is the book you pick up and finish. Or don’t. That’s fine too. I’m proud of you just for reading this poem.) " -bleak Feel free to buy it and read it or don't. There are 50 poems in total and many are no longer than a line or two but I hope they make you reflect on things in life you buried.
