Healing Poems for Quiet Nights: Gentle Words for the Lonely Hours, Letting Go, and Resting the Heart (Healing Poems Series) by Bryn Tandon

This poetry collection was one to make you feel seen when in real life you can feel invisible, there's always space within the words of a sentence to make you feel seen without it literally having eyes to see you with. Some stand out poems to me were: The Truth About Fine, about the easy answer often given over the emotional depth you crave someone to see and hold space for. People Pleaser, about being the one to help by being agreeable, feeling about the love you get is conditional to you only being agreeable and never saying no to anyone. The Wound, about the almost situations, potential, the hope, the pain of never being fully chosen and What They Took, was a poem all about the summary of what someone can take from you in a relationship but how they leave you changed, to not mistake certain actions or words again in other future situations and future relationships that will inevitably arise. Talk To Yourself, was a poem to me that echoes one of my favourite songs ever by Rain City Drive called, Talk To A Friend and mirrors the songs meaning in a complimentary way that poetry and lyrics you can often relate to life and situations. The Morning After and Beginning Again, were two poems about moving on for yourself and resetting your life for the better for you, through self love and acceptance to make yourself happier in life. A fantastic collection of poetry showing how self love can evolve and be healing and freeing for you to try.
