My Book of Poems: Depression, Obsession is a powerful and unfiltered poetic memoir by Canadian author Deborah Anne Kimberley.

Written over decades and born out of profound personal suffering, this collection gives voice to the often-silenced pain of trauma, mental illness, and systemic abuse. From the haunting loneliness of childhood to the dark corridors of institutional betrayal, Kimberley weaves raw emotion and striking imagery into verses that refuse to be ignored.

These poems are more than reflections-they are a testimony. Themes of depression, PTSD, spiritual resilience, political corruption, and survival flow through each page. The author's lived experiences with abuse, misdiagnosis, and injustice at the hands of powerful institutions-including health care systems and government structures-anchor her verses in a reality that is as disturbing as it is vital to confront.
