WINDOW PAIN POETRY
“Always searching for the light in that window”
So, why share my poetry?
Poetry helped me to heal, and it has always been my hope that I can help others to heal through my writing, too. Writing poetry gave a voice to parts of myself that had remained hidden for many years.
My biggest passions for writing are grief, inner child healing, friendships, loneliness, light, shadows, windows, romance and dark writes.

“My sad is sadder than yours” is a collection of artworks by Ala Ilescu. It was inspired by poetry about suffering and healing. This book was concieved as a work of art. The design and the structure combine watercolour paintings and poetry.
The book was created to communicate a message, to impose reflection on the subject matter.
“My sad is sadder than yours” is about different kinds of suffering: mental health struggles, grief, childhood trauma, domestic violence and more.
In order to enjoy life, we have to let go of the past and let the wounds heal. The main message of this book is you are not alone and if you relate to any of these struggles, you can heal too.
