The Solitary Edge
The Solitary Edge is poetry born of loss and longing for one’s self in a world overrun with change.
It is divided into three parts. The Burn focuses on anger, blaming a society we no longer recognize and its role in altering our sense of community and self. The Daze leads the reader from desperation for progress into depression for lack of it. The Evolve recognizes that the machine that holds us back is often of our own making, but that change is possible with the help of others.
At the end of the world as we know it, the author’s words are crisp and concise, acknowledging that time is more valuable as we fight for salvation. This anthology of poems finds purpose in the descent into madness and strength in the climb back up. Taken and inspired from the author’s collective works, The Solitary Edge dares us to find happiness midway between a sea of melancholy and a summit of mania.
Lyrics from The Burnt Sunset Series. Not one of the main novels.

99% of it was the same poem rewritten 1,000 different ways and it wasn’t even like.. deep content… The whole book is giving that Tumblr/Pinterest “I’m brOKen” thing and he randomly uses big words? They feel so out of place 😭and most of the time I had no idea what he was trying to say
But it took like 30 minutes to an hour to read the entire thing.. so if you really want to, go ahead!
And also the end of the book randomly turned into a romance book for a second??
Idk. It was really bad.
