    About this ebook

    ‘Born to Mourn’ is part one of my many dark and enigmatic, epic fantasy poetry books.
    Mystical maidens reside in a metaphorical maze alongside demons and damsels, dwelling in distress by the putrid pools of pity.
    The parallel plane where my over worked brain and I erect another unique project.
    Relax in the realms of wallow,
    for sorrow will sleep
    without wonder tomorrow.
    I gain the highest level of satisfaction writing poetry with rhythmic rhyme.
    My poems may relay a story of glory, gazing upon an unforeseen, in-between twist of fate
    that ends up somewhere only madness would dare.

    Author

    Carey Milton

    I am an aspiring writer, poet and artist from Melbourne, Australia Born with an overwhelming passion towards understanding, dealing and helping myself along with many others to not only survive depression, panic disorder and every other 'mental illness' there is under the sun, but to live a fulfilling, content life, with a dash of crazy strife. I have endured an extremely burdensome upbringing as mental illness was severely misunderstood by my family and peers. My lifelong goal has and always will be a triumphant trek. I am a mother of 2 beautiful and intelligent children who have inspired me greatly. One of each with so much to teach, kisses for both of you, one on each cheek! I am here to make a difference so over analyzing the ever evolving mind is where my constant passion for a newly creative masterpiece takes place on a daily basis. Possessing an empathetic soul along with a compassionate heart led me towards attaining my bachelor degree in psychology and social science. Delving deep within the psyche is where I crave to concoct and create. Exploring the nooks and crannies of my cranium is simply exhilarating to me. Deciding I had too many years of poetry on paper and art pieces cluttering my closets, I began posting my pieces online. Within 2 years I had made a name for myself and in the second year of posting my work into numerous poetry competitions I achieved 1st place for my poem 'The Quiet Achiever', January 2014. Soon after I was asked to become a council member for 'Cosmofunnel' which I became extremely involved in. Reading and writing poetry from a vast array of topics and styles from all around the world. Inspiration comes every day Appreciation goes a long way.
