this is a collection of heaviness, disguised in few words that might be mistaken as lightness. yet how can poems sprung from the depth of heart ever be jolly and happy; they can only be warning and warming.
throughout the whole book i recited, in voices as low as whispers and rumbles of pain, that stretched itself between the spaces of page. when mental states were written and not actions, the words were wrenching and gnawed through minds, with all the lower cases wiggling through the cracks.
in rhythm in rhymes, i read of rape and sex, women of colour and immigrants, replacement of self-doubts with self-loves, and that each and every person defines themselves. worth is not given by people around, but within oneself we understand love.
if i could rate in poems not in whole, there would be great ones and ones too educational. worthy to be read and spread, and cling onto those that resonate with your soul. [4 May 2018]
