The Strength In Our Scars by Thought Catalog, Bianca Sparacino
1.0

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.
