If poetry is not for you, I recommend you read this any way. its not just poetry its all emotion packed into one book. from someone who has dealt with a lot and needed some way too spill. its not just meaningless words its feelings and description of how this harsh world just kicks you to the curb and if you try to get back up again it will bring you back down. its not all happy and its not all sad, its just words from some one who has felt too much and said too little.
