My Book Of Poems - Depression Obession

My Book of Poems: Depression, Obsession is a powerful and unfiltered poetic memoir by Canadian author Deborah Anne Kimberley. Written over decades and born out of profound personal suffering, this collection gives voice to the often-silenced pain of trauma, mental illness, and systemic abuse. From the haunting loneliness of childhood to the dark corridors of institutional betrayal, Kimberley weaves raw emotion and striking imagery into verses that refuse to be ignored. These poems are more than reflections—they are a testimony. Themes of depression, PTSD, spiritual resilience, political corruption, and survival flow through each page. The author's lived experiences with abuse, misdiagnosis, and injustice at the hands of powerful institutions—including health care systems and government structures—anchor her verses in a reality that is as disturbing as it is vital to confront. Kimberley speaks boldly about topics many are too afraid to mention: the failures of mental health systems, the shadow of childhood trauma, and the invisible scars left by those entrusted to care. Through rhythmic and lyrical expression, the poet exposes truths that many victims carry silently. In addition to poems that explore personal and societal wounds, this book contains heartfelt dedications to her children, words of prayer, and glimpses of hope and spiritual clarity. Despite the weight of grief and rage in many pieces, there are flickers of light—reminders that healing, though difficult, is possible. This is not a gentle poetry book. It is fierce. It is unsettling. And it is necessary. Whether you are a survivor, an advocate, or someone seeking to understand the realities of trauma from a firsthand voice, My Book of Poems: Depression, Obsession will leave a lasting impact. It is a defiant act of truth-telling in a world too eager to forget.
