ABOUT

Hi, I am taylor. The sole owner and creator of *the elegy of maladies* spawned and created from rants about exes and depressive episodes. All poems being written hy me and me alone meant that i caloild take this in any direction i wanted. Starting out as taylors maldies, my poetry was a way out, a way to rant about life's problems and hope people could relate. This went on for a while and I kept writing and using my back catalog of poems to try and push this page out there. But as depression got worse and thesudden loss of my grandad. life became too much, poetry was my only vice and even then that buckled under the weight of my mental health. after a recent really low moment of my life and a weeks trip to hospital I realised I needed a change. I couldn't be putting energy into something that fed my problems. So I rebranded to the elegy of Maladies. Meaning a remedy for my problems (just a bit fancier) and from this has spawned works of hope, I wouldn't go as far to say they were happy but I know try and balance out the scales of life. As much as the darkness brought me comfort it can take over. It can become all consuming without you even realising. So I use my poetry as a solution rather than a catalyst. I believe that after coming so close to lifelong injuries because of my mental health that people find purpose and have faith. I am not reliaious but I belive everyone has purpose and should have faith. I am not religious but I do believe we all serve a purpose on this earth, and that higher powers are swaying us they're. Whether this be a lifelong venture or momentary. I will enjoy every minuete of the elegy for maladies. I love you all so much
