Description

Scrawny Dog is a raw, unfiltered poetry collection for anyone paralyzed by their own thoughts—written by a self-proclaimed millennial “lost in thought with a lot of nothing in que to the mentals.” Through fragmented verse and brutal honesty, these 25 poems explore fear, doom scrolling, existential spirals, and the paradox of being simultaneously empty and full. This isn’t polished poetry—it’s thought spirals captured on paper, questions without answers, fragments without resolution, truths without apology. From the terror of never trying to the realization that we destroy the flowers we claim to love, each poem strips away pretense to ask: what are you really searching for? The structure mirrors the chaos it describes: short lines, broken syntax, relentless questioning that refuses easy comfort. Perfect for readers who appreciate darkly honest contemporary poetry that tackles mental health, modern existence, and uncomfortable truths without filter. For scrawny dogs everywhere—all bones, but with hearts that still beat.
