The Daylight Plays Tricks on Us explores the opposing thoughts we all experience as complex human beings. The pages shift between day and night, reflecting a change in emotion from hopeful to self-critical as the sun goes down. The darker poems center on feelings of grief, loss, and anxiety, with the daylight bringing experiences of love, adventure, and self-discovery. This repeating pattern explores the depths of one's mind and how easily it can switch from doubt to security, from fear to bravery, and from brokenness to strength - reminding us all that even in the darkest of nights, light will find us by morning.
