Pretty Boys Are Poisonous: Poems

the collected felt very random to me, some parts feeling out of order where they might worked better somewhere else, and the asthetic of the physical design was odd. i just didn’t connect at all and found the writing not to click level wise.

I'm sure Megan Fox is a very nice person and I hope this book has helped her to process some trauma. She is very sincere in her attempt to write meaningful poetry. Unfortunately, being sincere is not the same as being good.

I’m putting this in the middle because I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either. It’s hard to put a rating on someone’s personal experiences but the writing style just didn’t work for me. I’m an advocate for cathartic writing and sharing one’s truth, and I don’t regret reading this but it could have been executed better. I didn’t have very high expectations to begin with though, since Megan Fox is an actress and not a poet. I enjoyed the themes of the book as well as the illustrations. I believe younger me would’ve LOVED this.

i’ve humbled kings
alone
i’ve fought wars
against titans
still they foam at the mouth
attempting to silence me
because i am a mirror
that reminds them
of what they cannot have
you mistook me for a possession
when i was nuclear weapon all along

Lordy Miss Fox

I’m not sure if this is about her ex husband and/or MGK, but I hope she’s getting the help she needs and is safe.
Some really sad/ abusive/ toxic words here.
