Local author pop-up shop for Megan Dawn’s newest release, In the Dark: A Poetry Collection.

The raw experiences Megan Dawn endured, which gave life to these poems, were heartbreaking, soul-crushing, lonely, depressing, immobilizing, and encapsulated with fear and anger. Megan Dawn's hope in sharing her insecurities, painful recollection of memories, and dispiriting thoughts, is to connect with others who may be experiencing the same feelings.

In the Dark is a must read if-

• You feel desperately alone

• You feel angry, lost, and confused about why your life is the way it is

• You have recently been betrayed, lost friends, or been mistreated by those you thought loved you most

• You feel your family doesn't understand who you are

• You are the black sheep of your family and, seemingly, in life in general

• You are a risk taker, learn things differently than others, or seek adventure

• You have had your heart broken countless times and feel like you aren't deserving of love

• You feel as though you aren't enough for anyone

• You desire more for your life but life seems to want to keep you stuck

• You are confused about what moves to make as you proceed forward in life

• You have been unfairly judged by others

• You have been sexualized and objectified in repulsive ways

• You battle with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues

• You're open-minded and spiritual

• You crave to understand the deeper meaning of your experiences and life in general

• You seek to feel understood, seen, and heard through your hardship

• You desire a community of people who love you regardless and support your dreams

• You love real, vulnerable, and raw POETRY!

If you're feeling In the Dark and desire to feel seen and heard, Megan Dawn's collection will be the perfect solace. All she asks is you cry, feel and embrace the current ache of your pain, remain in this world with her, and stay tuned for her next collection of poems, as they are the much-needed words your soul needs to hear next.

Megan Dawn's purpose in life is to share love, encourage positivity and optimism, and guide others towards the self-discovery of compassion, grace, and abundance within themselves; helping them to know they are meant to be exactly where they are currently, and their story has a unique telling which could impact the world most exquisitely. She illuminates the philosophy of sitting through the pain, to understand its purpose, and using it as fuel to Find the Light in your divine life.
