Sweet, Young, & Worried by Blythe Baird

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

I have seen clips and videos of Blythe Baird's poetry online for years through Button Poetry, and I have always felt that she completely emulates the experience of growing up a queer woman in the early to mid 200os. Baird's poetry covers topics from insecurity, body image issues, eating disorders, coming out and the aftermath, and trying to make it through. She is relatable in a way that made me want to say, "Yes! This is what I have been feeling all along!"

Each poem is like a new cathartic punch to the gut as she steadily peels back layer after layer until you're filled with raw emotion.
