Semi Colon ;: Poetry To Take You Through a Journey Through Mental Health Awareness by Leah Jones

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Heartrending and Emotional poems that are bound to touch you!

I loved the honesty with which every poem in this book is written. The feelings are genuine and the poet never tries to hide her insecurities or her pain. The overarching theme of mental health evokes not pity, but a sense of mutual and silent understanding. You grow to admire the poet's resilience by the end of the book.

Simple lines that you would read, yet it affects you deeply. "You think you know, think you care,/ Truth is, you just sit there and stare/ At me as I read aloud,/ When I’m done, I’m not proud."

Grief, yearning, self-consciousness, anxiety, depression, these poems are submerged in emotions. Spreading awareness about mental health in the most conducive manner. Brilliant work! Recommended for readers across all backgrounds.
