I have survived every day up to this point, but I will go forth and LIVE my life instead from here. That is the message I have been given from this incredible, heartfelt poetry collection. Blythe Baird had sparked inspiration since the day I had found her on @buttonpoetry , and I was ecstatic to hear that she had physical collections of her works. Her poetry told me that I am not alone, and I do not have to look a certain way to meet expectations. The only expectations I should ever have to meet are my own. Beauty is not one “ideal” look, it is whoever you see in the mirror. You define beauty in your own way. And if you are struggling to see that, or if you feel alone, then I highly recommend reading Blythe’s collection. I have never felt more touched in my life through a book before. So the next time you are at the bookstore, don’t just look at it, buy it. Support her, but support yourself more importantly. Her words will impact you in such a deeply profound way.

Next on my TBR! I’ve been following Button Poetry since 6th grade for myself, and I’ve fallen in love with the words of many poets; amongst them, Blythe. Her poem, “When the Fat Girl Gets Skinny”, was one of the first of many that still sticks in my head to this day. I can’t wait to be able to read her words on paper. Keep in tune for my next review!

to live in the body of a survivor is to never be able to leave the scene of the crime.

i cannot ignore the fact that i live here.

Today, the average high school student has the same anxiety levels as the average 1950s psychiatric patient. We know the Pythagorean theorem by heart, but short-circuit when anyone asks us, How are you? We don’t know. We don’t know.
