There were definitely poems in this collection that really spoke to me and I'm sure would speak to many others. However, there were also poems I did not understand at all.

Overall I enjoyed this collection, but I don't think it is one that I would go back and read again and again or quote from that often. I definitely think it's worth other people reading, especially readers with more of a poem reading brain than what I have.

insomnia has this romantic way of making the moon feel like perfect company.

i wouldn't say i'm sensitive, i would say i'm highly susceptible to feeling a lot, and "sometimes there just ain't enough rocks." Forrest Gump. when i say my feelings are a box of chocolates, i mean i like to eat them.

I really wanted to love this but it just didn't connect with me.
I still LOVE her spoken poetry and will continue with that format.

I really like Sabrina Benaim on Button Poetry. This collection is a solid 3.5⭐️. The overdrive ebook is accompanied by her audio recordings of the poems as well which is a bonus as her readings really make it come alive.

Depression can be a lonely struggle, believe me I know. There is always someone who understands though and you aren‘t alone. #depresssion #mentalillness #youarenotalone

“Anxiety is the cousin visiting from out of town depression felt obligated to bring to the party. Mom, I am the party. Only, I am a party I don‘t want to be at.”

"The girl gets carried away. She is the sugar cube, love is the cup of darjeeling - she dissolves, faster than you think she will." -Sabrina Benaim, Depression & Other Magic Tricks #poetry #mentalhealth
