5By DarkestRubyThis book gave me the strength to change, to fully embrace myself as the woman I am, and so I should define my worth by myself instead of people’s view of me. Absolutely worth reading ❤️Kinda weird. Wasn’t the kind of poetry I’m looking for. But wasn’t a waste of time either.

5By PiZzAA StEveLOVED IT !!!!wasn’t very intriguing pt 2
1By Papa1342i bought this book and her previous book because a lot of people recommended it to me (friends, mutuals, people online) and honestly, it’s very unsatisfactory. most of the poems aren’t really poetry. it’s sad that many people consider their writings to be poetry just because you can call anything poetry now. the definition of poetry is, “literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.” the problem with this is that a lot of her ‘poems’ are too simple. they’re something like a sentence you could say to a friend, but divided into different stanzas. most of the poems don’t show any literary expertise. there aren’t many metaphors or figurative language, no rhyming, or distinctive/individual style...Emotional
5By mexsandThe kind of book that you can read feel the pain love and all the emotion of the writer makes you think of your own life and your experiences and what life is really about
