eh…I feel like it was so repetitive and i times it just felt like it was contradicting itself. I’m not sure if it’s because i have open discussions about these sort if things but i feel as though these are very basic thoughts. Don’t get me wrong they’re written nicely but the concepts/themes of each poem seem over done and i feel as though many people already know these things. just not for me

"Your body is more than just a graveyard for those who could not love it. Your heart is more than just a cemetery for those who disappear."
"Goodbye isn't as simple as many make it seem; goodbye isn't really goodbye, not for someone who still cares. Not for the person left in the aftermath of a hurricane they once loved."

There are a few poems in this I found nice but most of it I found repetitive, redundant and quite frankly, cheap.
This will be one I read again and again... I felt and absorbed so much of this. I cried and I smiled.
Knocked off an extra star because I'm sick to death of people calling things like this poetry when it is just self-help prose. If the author wants to write poetry, which they'd likely end up being great at, they should especially study line breaks and how they can change meaning and mood. Reading more actual poetry can help give excellent examples of effective line breaks. It's just so aggravating. Very bland end-stops and parsing instead of bold and meaningful annotating. And if the author doesn't know what that last sentence means, that's exactly the problem if they're pretending to do poetry.
Tl;dr: Self-help prose (not poetry) with some good writing that could be worth a read to some people.
