Based On You by Arisa Hart

This poetry collection focuses on all the ways we can feel love from different people and situations. October and Eager, were two poems on how loving someone can feel powerful. Guts, was an honest poem about loving someone who only lies to you. Mother, was a poem of a mother talking and hoping for her daughter to never feel the weight of comparison like she did growing up. Happy Genes, was a phenomenal poem about everyone having a differing vision of beauty to them and as a white British girl with family around the world with various mixed ethnicities, skin tones, hair types and nationalities is such a relatable poem how every girl and guy has a differing experience in life, good or bad and how we should all just be kind to each other and embrace the beauty of us all being so different. A beautiful collection of poetry especially on loving our differences more in a world that can feel so narrow-minded or superficial sometimes.
