"The monsters don't live in my closet or under my bed.
they are the collection of throughts inside my head"
Me gusto mucho, pero muchísimo mas la parte de la caída que de la levantada. Quizás es porque me gustan mas las cosas tristes.

4am thoughts: I just pulled out an all-nighter and for a poetry collection that failed to give me tingles.
Oh well.. I guess I am in search for good ones.

I read about 70 percent of this book and than I DNFed it. From the very first page I realized this was not going to be something for me. I had imagined this book to deal with much darker topics. Including nightmares and mental illness. I was very much let down when this book covered nothing much more than a broken heart a rejection and a (of I'm being honest) not so powerful or feminine approach at a poem ... what I'm trying to say is... No man has the power to break you. And I don't like how being broken over a man and comparing yourself to another woman can be romanticized. It just didn't for well with my mind set at all and left me feeling very much fed up. I hope I don't sound negative. this is solely my opinion and I would never put you down for falling in love with this book!
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."

It was okay. I wasn't wowed by it. I'm glad it was short. It was relatable but just wasn't special. I do like how she separated the poems up.
No originality whatsoever. So many modern “poetry” have the same concept of heartbreak and then a couple pages of self-love.
