We can fight the whole world. But what do you do when your own mind is at war with itself?

Written in verse, each poem lands like a confession: short, sharp, and impossible to look away from.

A Box of Delusions is a raw, unflinching journey through anxiety, self-sabotage, and the search for real connection in a world that rewards pretending you're fine. It's the intrusive voice you can't shake, the childhood you can't return to, and the exhausting habit of wrecking your own life before anyone else can. And the ultimate coping mechanism: telling yourself your pain is just a story, a myth, something even a therapist could never fully understand.

Healing implies something is broken. This book doesn't believe that. It believes your scars aren't a flaw to fix, they're proof of what you survived, and part of what makes you, you.

If you've ever felt too much, or are tired of wearing a mask so long that you'd like to remember what was underneath it, this book is for you.

A Box of Delusions is for readers of emotionally raw mental health memoirs, feminist coming-of-age stories, and healing journeys who want their pain reflected back with honesty, not platitudes.

Step inside the hallway. Unpack the madness. Open the box.
