About author: Perry Kay is a dark and twisty writer and poet. Her first love will always be ‘words’. Growing up you could find her reading cereal boxes during meals and writing silly poems about Science or History. Her friends called her the walking dictionary and she had a full-time job writing everyone else’s essays. In her adolescent years, Perry was diagnosed with Mental Illness, including Depression, PTSD, and Anorexia. She’s been to “Grippy Socks Jail” (psych ward) more times that she can count. She loves bringing her struggles to life using vivid imagery in her poetry. The majority of her poems, written in psych wards; depict what most can’t describe. The struggles inside a brain of someone struggling with mental health is too complex to be written out. Perry uses strange metaphors to bring her pain alive. Sometimes it’s hard to find the meaning in her abstract expressions but she likes it that way. She wants you to decide what this poem means to you. When Perry writes, all her defenses melt away and it’s just her and the paper. So, welcome to the secret world of Perry’s brain.
