The ocean i dive headfirst into when i can no longer breathe in reality.īe a mermaid who doesn’t settle for making a small splash.īe a mermaid who doesn’t stop until she makes tidal waves.īe a mermaid who knows to stop before she devastates the world with her tsunamis.

what i know now that i wish i knew then. it should not determine the worth (or lack thereof) of a human being. I have quite a few poems marked, but here are some standouts.ġ: a descriptive word. I highly suggest reading those before picking up the book. Also, there are a lot of warnings in the beginning of this book. Since it’s hard to write a review, I thought I would just share a few of my favorite pages. I had been reading it during different shopping trips to Target and knew that I needed to own it.

I finally bought this after seeing a hardcover, signed, special edition in Barnes & Noble. Explores life & all of its love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, & inspirations. the princess, the damsel, & the queen piece together the life of the author in three stages, while you serves as a note to the reader & all of humankind. “Ah, life- the thing that happens to us while we’re off somewhere else blowing on dandelions & wishing ourselves into the pages of our favorite fairy tales.”Ī poetry collection divided into four different parts: the princess, the damsel, the queen, & you.
