Dear Reader

Hey, do you mind if I sit down for a while? I know you don't know me, but my goodness, I wish I knew you. You have eyes like a welcome mat, and I know we just met, but I need a safe place to land. The world has not been kind to me. I can't say I've always been kind either, but I'm tired of people pretending. Pretending they care, that they're not acrimonious, that their world doesn't crumble into pieces from time to time. How do you keep moving when your heart has stopped beating for the things you love? How do you keep going when the one you love has a heart that stops beating for you? Why do people live a life just to hurt others? I guess what I mean to say is, why do they hurt me? Why does time have to be so cruel but also so perfect? Why is everything a contradiction? How can holding my breath feel like I'm floating but also dying at the same time? How does falling apart mean you will always fall back together? Life is weird. It's hard, too, like realizing everyone you ever trusted was only there to fire bullets at you. I know I'm just a stranger, and you're probably confused, but everyone that's ever lived has questioned life like this too.

You hold onto your pain as if it's the only thing that's ever held you.

I've been there.

I know what it's like to spend my nights

crying on the bedroom floor.

I know how it hurts to feel every word

hit me straight in the chest.

I know how it is to feel like

no matter how much sleep I get,

I never truly rest.

My mind wanders off into a fantasy

that doesn't actually exist,

dreaming about the day they realize

what they have truly missed.

I know how it feels.

I’ve spent countless nights wondering

why I'm not where I want to be.

I've sat in the shower and cried

because of doubt, thinking

I'll never be able to reach the goals

that I am hoping to achieve.

I've

[Donna · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is one poetry book i can actually get behind, so many feelings and personal encounters it was unreal; literally eye opening on some and alot of thoughts to my own life. I need this book in phycial form just so i can carry it with me at all times.

I enjoyed the shit out of this book, i love a book that blows my mind.

Usually poetry i have a hard time getting behind there are ones that can get my attention and ones that just have me like "WTF did i just read". This one however was the attention seeker and i love it.

Please read this, if it is not for you i am sure it will be for someone else in your life.
