Greetings, dear reader, and welcome to my collection of poetic verse.
"Forbidden Feelings: A Poetry Anthology" is a thought-provoking and evocative anthology that delves into the darker, often misunderstood, or stigmatized emotions that are often labeled as "bad" by society. The poems in this collection explore the complexities and nuances of emotions such as sorrow, anger, fear, and guilt, and how they can affect us on a deeper level. Set within the context of dark academia, these poems offer a unique and introspective look at the human experience and the range of emotions that we all experience. With its rich and emotive language, this collection is sure to leave a lasting impression on you.
Within this collection, you will find a selection of twelve poems, each delving into a distinct emotion that is frequently deemed "negative" or "unfavorable". These emotions including grief, solitude, and rage, among others, are considered wrong when these are just as crucial and valid as their positive counterparts - joy, companionship, and love. They are an inherent and inescapable aspect of the human experience, often imparting valuable lessons and fostering personal growth.
If I were to turn this collection into a book, I would choose the above picture as the cover art (or at least an inspiration for it). This picture beautifully reflects the theme and message of this collection about the negative emotions that humans experience. The phases of the moon symbolize the cyclic and ever-changing nature of emotion, and the fact that each phase is repeated twice underscores the idea that these emotions are an integral and recurring part of the human experience. The picture's representation of the phases of the moon can also be seen as a metaphor for the journey of emotional growth and self-discovery. Just as the moon goes through phases of waxing and waning, so too do our emotions change and evolve over time. The picture suggests that this journey is a continuous and ongoing one and that it is through exploring and understanding our negative emotions that we can grow and learn about ourselves.
Additionally, the moon is a symbol of mystery and the unknown, which ties in with the idea that emotions can be complex and difficult to fully understand or articulate. The picture's dark, ethereal aesthetic perfectly captures the mood and tone of the poetry, which delves into the darker aspects of the human emotional landscape. The image's use of the moon, a celestial and universal symbol, also helps to highlight the universality of the negative emotions explored in the poetry. These emotions are not unique to any one individual but are a shared human experience that connects us all. By using this picture to visually represent this universal aspect of the human experience, I would be able to emphasize the universal themes and messages in the poetry.
Overall, the cover art perfectly complements the theme and message of the poetry collection, and its visual symbolism adds an additional layer of depth and meaning to it.
And while you all enjoy the poems in this collection, I'll just be over here signing copies of this non-existent book because, you know, I have no life.
Without further ado, here are the poems that make up "Forbidden Feelings: A Poetry Anthology":

Thank you so much for reading. As we come to the close of this enlightening exploration of the so-called "negative" emotions, I hope you have a newfound appreciation for the complexity and richness they bring to the human experience. I hope my poetry helped you feel understood and validated in your own struggles. Until we meet again, remember to take care of yourself, and don't forget: it's perfectly okay to not be okay... unless you're feeling too good, in which case, please keep it to yourself and let the rest of us wallow in our misery.
