Aprašymas

What happens when the life you thought you were going to have falls apart?

You lose the future you imagined.

You lose yourself too.

Too Much: Poems by a Broken Boy is a raw poetry collection about love, heartbreak, masculinity and self-destruction. Chronicling the painful journey of rebuilding yourself.

Told across four stages- The Fall, Rock Bottom, The Climb and The Arrival. The Collection follows a man confronting the end of a relationship and everything that rises to surface afterward. Like fear, regret, desire, addiction and unresolved childhood wounds. Asking himself who he is and what remains when the person you were can no longer survive.

These poems are about:

• Loving someone so deeply you begin to disappear
• The things men inherit but are never taught how to talk about
• Heartbreak, loneliness and self-destruction
• Learning the difference between love and possession
• Forgiving the person you used to be
• Find the way back home to yourself

At its bleeding heart, TOO MUCH is about surviving the version of yourself that believed love could save you.

As the collection says, "love without self / will cost everything."

Eventually, after the mask, the rage and breaking something changes: "you stopped trying to win. / you started trying to live."

If you've ever had to rebuild yourself after losing the life you thought you'd live, this book is for you.
