"If you are looking for poetry that will break your heart, make you cry then fix you back together and leave you feeling all-around lighter, then look no further. If you enjoyed Rupi Kaur and are looking for a similar vibe, then look no further. If you're new to poetry and want to dig into some real heart-felt writing, then look no further. If you've been left longing for poetry that makes you feel something (like I), then look no further."
