by Madison Dakin (Author)
In Madison Dakin's debut book, Drowning in my own Potential, readers follow themes of introspection, love, heartbreak, and loss. The collection of poems and thoughts encompass the protagonist's navigation through a fluctuation of different feelings. "i wish to tip over the hourglass of life, / and have a moment to myself. / shed my inhibitions, / in the way a snake abandons skin it has outgrown. / i wish to emerge from my once comforting cocoon, / that now imprisons my ability to fly. / i hope to undress, / stripping away layers of stress, / and anxiety, / to reveal a beautiful soul behind an / overwhelming presence of / vulnerability," the poet writes. Become enveloped within the realities of a young teenage mind who is finally understanding the depths of herself, and accepting the realities surrounding her.
