Love Notes Volume 2 by Cheryl Bradshaw

This collection was deeply impactful and deals with the topics of abuse and how one person can affect you so much and the desire to help them can make you put yourself second. The poems that stood out to me didn't have titles in this collection but were numbered: 16, about safety and how it can effect you. 23, about the illusion of life and feeling how it is going or right 24, about seeing love different at teens to your twenties from toxic to loving. 25, about knowing yourself enough to know good and bad behaviour signs. 55, about fearing an explosion from a toxic partner and choosing to stay silent instead to not risk it. I love collections of micropoetry where you can easily read it say on a bus or train journey and feel still as deeply as if you've read an in depth collection which this collection did seamlessly each piece making you think and reflect.
