"and may we always stay grounded, rooted. our feet planted firmly onto the earth."

what terrifies me most is how we
foam at the mouth with envy
when other succeed
but sigh in relief
when they are failing

our struggle to
celebrate each other is
what's proven most difficult
in being human

Gorgeous poetry, nourishment for the soul and some gut punches thrown in - as all good books of poetry should be.

Too fragmented for me to enjoy. I don't mind tumblr style poetry but this was just a mess. Not sure why it's been so popular, there's better poets out there.
