Wilting Mind

"sometimes we don't need poetry

but need simple words to touch our hearts.

Sometimes warriors are not in armor

but the ones with a smile."

Taking her writing to new levels, Islaih shares her struggles with mental illness and chronic pain. This collection is her emotional journey through grief and the need to escape. Her writing takes us through the darkness of losing a friend and almost losing her mother, then ends with uplifting pieces of self-love. There is an undertone of finding faith and having hope.
