SHE

by Robert M. Drake

if you haven't been yourself lately. if you've ever felt lost or empty and cannot explain why. if you've been looking for something you don't even know exists. if you've been asking questions, perhaps even the wrong ones and still have yet to receive an answer. if you don't know who you are. if you don't know why you're here. if you don't know why you feel the way you feel. and lastly, if you feel more alone than the night before. I understand you. I feel what you feel. I've asked the same questions and I've wondered all my life about the same things, too. I have my own demon's and I'm still struggling with them everyday. this is my truth. this is my soul... and I hope my horrors leave you with something. I hope they give you the strength you need to carry on. the courage you need to move on, to let go of whatever hurts you. there's still hope... there always is, no matter how far in you are. the light, that little spark of hope will always show you the way.

This was a really nice read, and it was a really nice edition of the book. I liked the format and the way it was small and compacted. I felt like it really fit with the theme of the collection. This has always been one of my favorite poets, and I really enjoyed the bits of their insight in between the pages. Shirt and sweet with a few longer pieces.

This is my 3rd RMD book this year and it seems like every book I crack open I find less poetry that connects with me.

At this point I feel like the emotions being poured on the page are real and I cannot fault that. What I will say is that it feels like they are the words of an extremely sad person who lacks the ability to see the good in the world.

In my eyes there is a period of time for this kind of mindset but to express it over and over and over and over book after book after book doesn’t seem healthy and I don’t see myself reading this kind of poetry.

There are a few fantastic bits within this book but it misses what I want at this point in my life.
