The Daylight Plays Tricks on Us

The Daylight Plays Tricks on Us explores the opposing thoughts we all experience as complex human beings. The pages shift between day and night, reflecting a change in emotion from hopeful to self-critical as the sun goes down. The darker poems center on feelings of grief, loss, and anxiety, with the daylight bringing experiences of love, adventure, and self-discovery. This repeating pattern explores the depths of one’s mind and how easily it can switch from doubt to security, from fear to bravery, and from brokenness to strength - reminding us all that even in the darkest of nights, light will find us by morning.
