why do i hurt the ones
who want to lift me up and
worship the ones who crush me
- what made me like this
being the loudest on earth's playground
doesn't make us any more important than
the dirt we crush beneath our feet
we are a people
who forget what we are made of
a people who talk about the weather
as if it's mundane and not magic
as if the oceans
are not holy water
as if the sky
is not a vision
as if the animals
are not our siblings
as if nature is not god
and rain is not god's tears
and we are not god's children
as if god is not the earth itself
i was trying to fit into a system
that left me empty
- capitalism

It feels like it’s a therapy, both for Kaur to write and to read and to relate to. Throughout reading these collections I’ve grown a great appreciation for Kaur’s writing and for her willingness to share some of these tough experiences with the world.
I think these are a great entryway into poetry, with a mostly short format of simple stanzas and then the rare more intricate poem that takes up a few pages.
