I don't have too much to say about this. It was okay. There were some thoughts I loved but most were just like read it, think okay, and on to the next.
My favorite poems:
„I indulge myself in a book because diving headfirst into another fantasy is so much more peaceful than living in reality“ page 90
„The monsters don’t live in my closet or under my bed. They are the collection of thoughts inside my head“ page 79
„... I have learned that some fairy tales do not end with a happily ever after. Some end with an abrupt and bitter goodbye. ...“ page 69
„Her I am. Here’s who I want to be. How do I get from point A to point B?“ page 93
„...Even though my first thought may be negative, my actions will no longer be. I am choosing to Love me for me.“ page 131

I couldn’t connect with this at all, there were some poems that did make up for the lack of interesting or soulful material. But overall it felt repetitive and not at all very deep or meaningful. I’ve read other poetry with more depth and soul than this.
It honestly dragged for me, thankfully it’s not that long.

This was lovely to read. It's probably one of my favourite poetry books that I've read in the past year. It's especially remarkable that the author, Makenzie Campbell, wrote this when she was only 18. Bravo. I wish I've had the guts to pursue having my work published when I was her age. Anyway, I'm feeling old as dirt right now lol
Makenzie does a very clever use of metaphors in my opinion, and her poems were very relatable to me. I really enjoyed it, especially the Dusk section which is centred in heartbreak and sadness because I'm a sucker for pity parties and feeling sorry for my past choices
