Running From Myself

Running from Myself is a haunting collection of poetry that wrestles with the shadows of the past, the echoes of pain, and the fragile hope of becoming whole again. With raw honesty and piercing emotion, Samuel Ludke explores what it means to be caught between the person you were and the person you're trying to become.
Each poem is a step along the winding path of self-reflection-a journey through heartbreak, regret, fleeting joy, and the relentless pull of memory. This collection captures the struggle of escaping old wounds while searching for light in the ruins of the self.
