I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.

Amazon.com: Cold Sober eBook: Theresa Sopko: Kindle Store

My poetry book, Cold Sober is FREE on Amazon Kindle until Monday! Grab a copy while you can! 

A girl with no plan to fall in love realizes there is no choice in the matter. Cold Sober is a delicate and organic collection of poems that chart the journey from skepticism to fulfillment. With the genuine tone of somebody discovering love and navigating a relationship for the first time, it is impossible not to feel the surprising wonder as you turn each page. Sopko’s words are a slowly blooming bud, taking readers from apprehension and distance to to trust and intimacy. Cold Sober asks all of the questions, addresses all of the fears, and acknowledges all of the beauty within the perfect storm that is falling in love.

Cynicism is, ultimately, fear. Cynicism makes contact with your skin, and a thick black carapace begins to grow-like insect armor. This armor will protect your heart, from disappointment-but it leaves you almost unable to walk. You cannot dance in this armor. Cynicism keeps you pinned to the spot, in the same posture, forever.
