The last two pages made me tear up and think of my own life and heartaches, but also filled me with hope.

I didn't really like it. It just wasn't for me. A lot about broken hearts, missing love, loving and things like that. I don't share the same experience.

Ngl I know nothing about poetry so probably just ignore me, but I didn't really like this collection. It just felt like alot of the poems were too similar and I got a bit bored after a while. They felt too generic and I didn't really connect to any of them. I did like some of them though. Some of the ones I highlighted were:

"When I’m with you I have all these words rooted inside me ready to paint the world, but it stays black and white because the colors get caught in my throat."

"Over the years I had built four white walls around my heart. The ceiling was a beautifully crafted glass window that turned the blue sky an arrangement of shapes and colors. Goodness and faith were instilled within. I was a church. The house of God. You came into my life begging for forgiveness of your sins. You left by setting it on fire."

"You are the plaque on my heart. I continuously try to brush you away but you hide in hard to reach places. You are the cavity that won’t leave, an aching pain every time I breathe."

“You say you want us to survive the flames, yet you feed the fire every time you walk away.”

I just scrolling trought Scribd bored and trying something to read before i sleep. And I discovered this book, and it's hit me hard every word. This is about story how relationship ups and down with a bit of female empowerment, yes it's hit me hard considering to what i feel lately. It's easy to me understand each word, and i like it like each page connected with another, telling me the story of what happend, how happy how love and how hurt it was.

“How terribly tragic is it that someone’s heart can be so shattered that they no longer even find the beauty in existing? That they’d rather endure the split-second pain of a bullet wound to release a lifetime of aching in their soul.”

2 AM thoughts is a poetry collection focusing on themes of love and Campbell really writes some heart-wrenching lines about love and loss- just not in a new way.

Very generic ideas and some of the lines written are taken verbatim from other poems. Just nothing original or exciting.
Very similar to Rupi Kaur in the sense that it feels like instapoetry.
