dear mini me, i'm sorry

-
you're the poem i dreamed of creating
god's biggest blessing
my very own mona lisa
a masterpiece
and when granted such a present
the gift of your presence
reward should follow
so forgive me please

forgive me when i tell you
you will struggle to breathe
what was once trees are crowds of business men on the street
forgive me when i tell you
you cannot go to school
your companions will bring heat once they have lost their cool
forgive me when i tell you
in summer there is no beach
sharks will emerge from the sea and let their bullets screech
forgive me when i tell you
there is no such thing as love
you will be used and abused and disposed of
forgive me when i tell you
 i couldn't provide you a life
where justice is served and there is equality for all
forgive me when i tell you
your providers and creators
cursed you with pigmentation that will cause you to fall

this is the world we live in
no hope for humanity
so dear mini me
i am sorry
forgive me as i do not withhold the strength
to sacrifice your sacred heart into this world
and deposit your soul into a society
too corrupt for a baby boy or girl

book review : seven days in june

-
Genre: Romance /Coming of Age /Drama Reading age: 18+ Rating: 7/10 You’ll like this if you’ve watched or read End of the F***ing World, It’s Kind of a Funny Story or anything which blends love and mental health. One of my favourite booktokkers always raves about this book, and as it’s black history month, it felt wrong not to read a book by a black author… so I picked up Seven Days in June by Tia Williams. The first thing that must be mentioned is that this story should be plastered with trigger warnings - self harm, substance abuse, suicide, sexual abuse, physical harm, death. You name it, the book has it - which I wasn’t too keen on, I know real life can be shit but I do feel like the story could have been just as powerful without so many different types of traumatic experiences. It almost diminishes the individual experiences in isolation and makes it seem like they must have a culmination of trauma to be worthy of our empathy. That being said it was really well written, very poetic

book review : after i do

-
Genre: Romance Reading age: 16+ Rating: 8/10 You’ll like this if you’ve ever experienced a long term romantic relationship. They say third times a charm, so I decided to pick up another Taylor Jenkins Reid book, and let’s just say I truly think she might be becoming one of my favourite authors. Every book I’ve read by Miss Jenkins Reid is so different, from the themes to the way it’s formatted. If it wasn’t for the same quality of writing, you’d think that the books were all written by different people. After I Do is a love story in its core but more than that, I think it’s a story of self love and self discovery. Like most of us, I usually read to escape my reality, so I don’t like reading things that hit too close to home. But in a way it was refreshing to read about different approaches to love and the different journeys relationships can take. There is a real beauty in realism, and knowing that you’re not alone. The story follows the lives of Lauren and Ryan who were college (unive
