All his pretty girls

The toy box

The devil's playground

Alone in the woods

The dying place

She must be mad by Charly Cox

[frequen-seas]

80% of the time, I keep it real

Our conversations are nothing but revealing

There’s no business concealing

All my past hurts and subsequent healings

But when it comes to us and how I’m feeling

I do not always tell you what I’m thinking

Why?

Why do you think?

I’m terrified

Terrified that you don’t feel the same

And I’ve traded our beautiful friendship

For a lifetime of awkwardness

And if you do

If you do feel the same

And you left her to be with me

I’m terrified I’ll spend our time together

Worrying about when you’ll leave me

For another friend

⁃ falling for a friend // p.m

When sanity seems so far And guarded by gates made of worries I thank a god I wish were true For Solange's Instagram stories The ending of this little poem was so unexpected, I had to put down the book and laugh for a minute. It made it so honest and original that it absolutely had to be the quote I would use for my review. But oh well. Unfortunately I couldn’t relate to much else. There was also so much prose when I much prefered her short poems. This book of poems is written in four parts : She must be in love, She must be mad, She must be fat and She must be an adult. I can safely say that She must be fat saved my rating for this one. I related to all the poems in that section. I expected so much from this read but to be honest everytime I thought of finishing this book I just wasn’t excited to go back in. Until I got to She must be fat. I devoured that part. Unfortunately, it was the shortest one and I did not relate to many poems in the other sections. I wouldn’t not recommand this book though. I think that poetry is very personal and my opinion is really based on my own experience. For some reason, I couldn’t connect with most of it but it doesn’t mean others didn’t. I’ve actually had many friends tell me they prefered the prose to the poetry for example. Overall, this was far from my favourite collection. I will say though that the She must be fat section made it all worth it for me. So definitely give it a chance if you want to read some new poetry.

There is no sense In the way it all ends No spell to upend The way it plays out No language, no knowledge No foresight to forage No nothing Just horrid Just horrid Just empty blank stares And I'm sorry's
