What The Silence Gave Me by Henrietta O.

This was a poetry collection simple in title yet deep in the feelings pulled from the silence endured. Some stand out poems to me were: What I See, was a poem about seeing beauty in somebody physically but realising their attitude and treatment of others isn't emotionally and ao how you see them as a whole is actually not beautiful at all. Never More, was a poem about the way comparison seeing others happy can make you feel not good enough or simply enough for anyone to love or desire to be chosen by and feeling less and never more than enough for another. To Love, was simply the best, honest and well thought out poem written about all kinds of love that I have ever come across simply stating through life the way love exists and shapes us and how all types of love we encounter shape who we are continuously. I, The Loner, was a simple realistic poem on the way life changes and people move on and away and how you remain sitting in the corner an observer of life around you feeling stuck and again, a different type of silence to face and deal with. This was a deep collection and absolutely not quiet or silent in being outspoken and bold.
