Poetry is an act of contrition. It's the art of looking at life in a painfully honest way. Poetry uses metaphors to capture life's intricate complications where plain, obvious and straightforward language fails. This book explores those metaphors like the tax collector. Your difficult relationship is like an invisible tax collector taking its cut from your mental health bank account. Your stress is a mental health tax collector. Your fear of engaging with loss, pain, addiction, denial is your tax collector and it will keep collecting and collecting until you do something about it.
