This book feels like reading someone’s unspoken thoughts out loud. Each poem capture the exhaustion of pretending, of rehearsing a version of yourself that feels increasingly foreign just to meet the expectations of others. The language is simple but deeply intentional. Every line carries emotional weight without being overdramatic. What struck me most was how quietly intense it is. There are no grand declarations, just honest questions that linger. It is painfully relatable and beautifully written. These poems doesn’t rush to resolve anything, and that’s its strength. It allows space for discomfort, identity loss, and grief over becoming someone you never meant to be. It feels raw, intimate, and incredibly human. If you’ve ever felt worn down by expectations, emotionally tired, or disconnected from who you once were, these poems will see you. A strong, thoughtful piece that stays with you long after you finish reading.
