The poems expressed in Thoughts of a Raging Lunatic reveal a woman locked in uncertainty. With raw emotions exposed, the poetry takes on a life of its own. 

Duality

Standing outside my body looking in
I wonder who I am and where I've been
Am I half alive or just half dead
A veil of shame and feel of dread
This person in front of me, personality split in two
Can they live together? it seems impossible to do
There is no peaceful harmony, just the fear that one must die
Caught in uncertain destiny, for both to live, one must always lie
My minds eye like a mirror, both souls reflecting back at me
The inevitability that one soul must die, to avoid tortured insanity  

In the emotional poem Duality, G.F. Emerson expresses the fears she had of her own dual personality that was created as a safety mechanism. But her dual self was tearing her apart. 

Visceral emotions, paranoia, fear and self-betrayal paint a portrait of a threatened and overwhelmed individual. As the poetry flows across the page, an emotional torrent is released that is at times both touching and frightening. The book is a consolidation of feelings of lost love, pain over a broken heart, and a feeling that there is a demon living within that may be uncontrollable if released.
