Welcome to Litsy!

This was a short collection of free form poetry in the Rupi Kaur vein. I wanted to love it but unfortunately it didn‘t quite grab me, probably this type of poetry doesn‘t generally suit me. I liked the poems on colonialism and racism much more than the material on relationships and being a woman. I feel bad judging it cause it was so deep and personal, it felt like it must have been so hard for her to write, just not a pick for me.

I am really enjoying this book. ❤

Affirmation.

"You grew between the cracks of my skin, I built you, cell by cell, over nine full moons, a flower grown from blood. Somewhere in your beautiful mind lives the distant memory, of loving only the sound of my voice and the slow hammer of my heart, you trusted me before you knew me."
