So I followed this poet on social media and was very excited to dive neck deep into her works.

As a published author of a book of poetry, I know how it felt to release this baby into the wild. It was liberating, it was the feeling that you were tearing off layers of skin and exposing your innards for the world to see and judge at free will. I always wanted someone to give me solid advice when it came to my poetry, especially when the subject was heartbreak.
That alone made me give this author 5 stars.... because of her COURAGE.

I know how the author feels at the present moment, watching each comment, hoping someone "gets it" in the way in which she wrote these words.

I got it....
She wants me to feel depressed along with her, I assume, otherwise these works would have never surfaced.

I imagine myself writing this during some of my hugest juvenile heartbreaks, while clutching a bottle of vodka and feeling woe is me. Reading this made me want to do the same.

Eventually, I kicked my own heartbroken ass into shape and established a new writing tone in which I feel more comfortable in my skin.
I hope this author does the same.

Honestly, I didn't find myself enjoying this collection of works: But I don't feel it was written for me to enjoy.
I felt it was TOO depressing and heart-wrenching and extremely vague and without any sort of established uniform style or prose. It left me gutted and empty.
I would like to see more metaphors, more style, and in more established subjects then heartbreak... there is a pure raw talent here.
KEEP WRITING! ( )
