ISAAC ASBURY

"‘My festering need to be good’ is my personal favourite poem from my debut poetry collection ‘memoirs from the moon’. I wrote this at a time in my life when my black and white thinking was really hindering my healing and growth as a person. It is one of the most personal poems I’ve written, a confessional reflection on my own self-destructive mindsets and a apt prelude to the crucial realisation that recovery is not linear. "
