emotional reflective fast-paced

2.5

I don't normally read poetry, because I'd rather people just came out and said what they meant, rather than dancing around with millions of metaphors, so I didn't think I would like this much. Turns out I was right, but for the opposite reason - I wish Rupi Kaur had said LESS in plain language, had used MORE lyrical language, and written essays rather than poems. 

i didn't like
the structure
of the poems
reading them
hurt
my brain

And while the artwork was cute, and much better than anything I've ever drawn, it wasn't enough to elevate the poems out of banality. I am sorry for the things Kaur has suffered in her life, and appreciate her attempts to relay it in a universal way that might be relatable and helpful to others. I just didn't really get anything out of this.
