Spring Clean
Spring Clean is a collection of poetry about self-love and growth, and the journey to finding the best version of yourself through the balance of holding on and letting go. Divided into winter and spring, Spring Clean begins with the bitterness of winter, and ends as it melts into the delicate flowers of spring, addressing themes of adolescence, bullying, abuse, self-love, mental health and healing. Inspired by styles and writers of modern poetry such as Rupi Kaur (Milk and Honey) Atticus (Love Her Wild) and Faraway (Sad Birds Still Sing), this is Sabreen Islam's debut collection of poetry, for the dreamers and the hopeless and for those who cannot help but live by their hearts, even when they guide them wrong.
And if you lose hope…
Perhaps that does not mean you are defeated,
but willing to wait,
for however long it may be,
however long you need to take,
before you take a deep breath,
pick up a rubbish bag,
and begin to throw all the long-rusted things in,
a spring clean, of sorts;
to take what no longer belongs in your heart
and let it go.

Wonderful poems
A cross between streams of consciousness and haiku, the short snippets of the authors thoughts will resonate with anyone who ever had a childhood or a youth. I hope she continues writing.
