This is Me

"This is Me" is a collection of poems Corinne wrote between the ages of 13 and 20. Life became a dark time for her at age 13 as she began to struggle with mental illness and it would continue to plague her for her entire life. Corinne also would fight a continuous spiritual battle between good and evil. She turned to poetry as a way of escape to help ease her pain and suffering. This poetry shows the dark side of mental illness while also showing the promise of hope peace and healing through life's struggles with the anchor of faith. Corinne's desire is that her writing can somehow shed a light into the darkness of the mind and help anyone out there who is also struggling.
