All The Ways I Love by Autumn Graves
This collection details all the thoughts and feelings you can experience growing up feeling you're wrong from others judgements being cast onto or directed towards you.
A few stand out poems to me were, Middle Ground, detailing how people can try to judge you one way or the other.
Trying to label you like in the poem, Coming Out, again, how you have to sometimes have to explain your sexuality multiple times to people over and over again trying to justify why you feel how you do.
They Ask For Proof, an open look at how people will question how for sure you are knowing how you identify how you say not seeing that being alive and feeling is actually enough.
Choosing Me, Every Time, was a great companion poem to the latter above, showing how every time chosing yourself, is pleasing yourself as people come and go whereas you're stuck with yourself for life.
It was a great in depth collection looking fully at the cycle of crushes, loving, learning and accepting who you are despite what others may think.
