the time to ignore is a raw, deeply emotional journey through 14 poems, confronting the echoes of moments and feelings I tried to brush aside, but which have since grown to haunt my thoughts. It's about the vulnerable process of finally acknowledging those truths that demand to be felt and understood in the quiet hours.
not to ignore...
This collection, the time to ignore, is made up of 14 poems that really just unravel in the quietest hours, like whispers I genuinely tried to brush aside for so long, but now find utterly impossible to forget. Each poem feels like a raw fragment of moments I probably ignored, pushed deep down, only to realize they've grown into something so much larger, something that just haunts the deepest corners of my thoughts. It's about that feeling when you can't outrun what you've left unaddressed.
It's a bit of a jumble, honestly, like all those messy memories suddenly resurfacing in the stillness of the night, demanding to be felt and finally understood. This collection is my way of bringing those echoes of things left behind—the uncomfortable truths, the unspoken heartaches—out into the light. It's not always easy, but there's a strange relief in finally acknowledging what was always there.
As you move through these pages, you’ll see pieces like "for my faces," which touches on the different versions of myself, and "side of my eye," exploring those glances we try not to catch. There’s "tangled heads" for all the confusion, and "wild sea" which just embodies that feeling of inner turmoil. Each one is a step into that uncomfortable, yet necessary, truth.
