Book Cover & Preview Text
Your blue eyes haunt me
like demons taunt the clinically insane
memories of us are drilled into my brain
ever since you
I haven’t been the same
you’re the voice in my head
you’re the monster under my bed

About the Book
If you knew what went on
in my mind,
I wonder if you’d lose yours too.
It took a long time for Makayla Brooke to understand that her personal experiences could be filled with both beauty and ugliness and, most importantly, poetic insight.
Within her debut collection of poems, Makayla reflects on a variety of themes and subjects that include heartbreak, abuse, grief, trauma, and much more. As she lyrically explores how she learned to find her way in a complex world and heal from her emotional wounds, Makayla shares a raw glimpse into her beautiful disaster as she bravely faced difficulties, attempted to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and focused on creating a new beginning with every sunrise.
Beautiful Disaster is a debut collection of poetry and prose that holds truth, love, hope, and a wake-up call for anyone feeling alone, broken, or lost in life.
