challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

This is a heartfelt collection of poems about life and the challenges that we must overcome. While these appear to be specific to the author, there’s plenty that anyone can relate to within these pages. 

These particular poems do tend to have a religious undertone which for me personally is not it but I know that many people find comfort in religion and I believe that these poems place their emphasis there in an amazing way. This is almost like a memoir written in poems. It’s obvious this was a healing journey for the author and I applaud them for their bravery in getting their story out there. It has some real heartbreaking moments and there are some triggers that need to not be ignored - please check those before reading. 

As a memoir-ish book, I feel a star rating negates the point. It’s such a good one though. Definitely read it.
