"you’re more of a stranger
than when we first met"

"i turned the pain you gave me into beauty
you couldn’t break me
i proved i have the strength and energy
to move on to a bigger destiny
i think i’m ready"

"never stop looking for the flowers
thunderstorms leave behind
trade your tears for flowers
they turn your sorrow into power"

"love hurts
but it feels too good
to not love again"

"there will always be some version of you lost within me"

it's been a while since i read some poetry so i am really glad i noticed this arc and requested it! these poems were beautifully written and they have so much emotion in them. whether you already like poetry, or want to try reading something new, i totally recommend checking this out. i think this is a great debut poetry book and i hope to read more of the author's work in the future. there are also illustrations throughout the book and although they are simple, they add so much to the book!

˗ˋˏ ୨୧ thank you to NetGalley and Mercedes Paradiso for the digital arc in exchange for an honest review! ୨୧ ˎˊ˗
