I liked the concept and the beginning of this book, but shortly before I was halfway through it, something happened in the style. It wasn't as solid as before, with several ideas not as developed as I expected. From there, I didn't see the mature, adult touch at the beginning, and it became something different with immature lines and underwhelming results.

This collectoin of poems is a deep exploration of pain, sorrow, and the dark corners of the human soul. It illustraits the turmoil of mental illness, trauma, and death that tortures ones soul from loss, pain and tragedies in out life.
The author has led bare the pain and suffering we go through behind close doors, verbalising the way our heart bleeds behind fake smiles. This is not a collection for the faint of heart, but rather for those who are willing to confront the shadows that lurk within us all.
The poems are a blend of rhymes and free verse and each one leads into the other. Till the very end the author stays true to the theme of the book, never letting a single ray of light pass through the murky depths of a heart suffering pain in silence.
Pros:
Emotional Depth: The collection has raw emotional depth, offereing a look at struggle with mental health, setbacks, pain and loneliness.
Variety of Styles: The mix of rhyme, free verse, and varying metrics caters to different tastes.
Cons:
Subjectivity: As with all poetry, personal connection is key, and not all readers may find themselves resonating with the content. Though many will feel seen and acknowledged in its verses others might be forced to face their pains.
Conclusion
This is a dark, evocative collection of poetry that explores some of the most painful aspects of the human experience. The poems raw intensity may not be for everyone and it is advised to read this with caution.
