Empires

In Rheign's first poetry book EMPIRES she dives into the dark underworld of modern-day's drives & motives. The rise peak & fall of empires: society culture & its impact on mental health. Torn between what is & what are merely idyllic fantasies Rheign uncovers the twisted truths of emotions thoughts & decisions of the rising generation. Rheign paints dichotomous worlds - one of happiness bliss & understanding & the other of hate distrust & neglect. At times she feels caught having to choose one or the other but she finds value in both & combines them to create her own dark & slightly misunderstood realm where pain has as much meaning as love. Written over the course of two years Rheign lays out her experiences of dealing with mental health in the modern age. Rheign observes the patterns of past & current empires: actual rulers people falling in & out of love those removing the rose-colored glasses or life itself. Exploring the depths & abysses of the world Rheign unveils the pain behind the beauty & the beauty behind the pain.
