The second publication of Moonflower Tirips, Illusion of Self is a raw collection of introspective prose poetry exploring fractured identity, emotional abuse, and survival. Through haunting imagery and stark reflection, it confronts loss, betrayal, mortality, and self-fragmentation. Each piece traces the quiet erosion of selfhood while revealing moments of clarity, resilience, and the difficult choice to reclaim boundaries, meaning, and one's own voice amid darkness, intimacy, memory, time, and transformation within.

Moonflower Tirips is a writer who also enjoys creating

poetry. Often of a melancholy nature, many of her

works explore human emotions and complexities.
