The Harsh Reality of Filtered thinking.

By: Kaylei E.

"Breaking the Cycle" was inspired by the generational struggles with mental health that many families face. The poem reflects the silent burdens passed down from one generation to the next, and the hope to break free from this cycle. I hope that readers will feel a sense of understanding and empathy for those who silently struggle, and also find hope in the possibility of healing and change.

The subject matter was chosen to highlight the often unspoken and ignored aspects of mental health, and the style aims to evoke strong emotions through vivid imagery and honest reflections. By addressing these issues openly, the poem seeks to encourage others to speak their truth and find strength in vulnerability.
