the mermaid's voice returns in this one by Amanda Lovelace
I have said it before, and I will say it again: Ms. Lovelace's poetry speaks to me in a way that most poetry doesn't. It is entirely to relatable in ways that I hate (because I hate that those things happened to both of us) but helps me remember that I am not alone. If nothing else, I find her poetry empowering.
Another thing I love about this poetry is that by the time you get to the end, things don't seem quite as bad, which is exactly how I feel about this thing called life. Mine hasn't always been sunshine and roses, in fact, there are parts I would never wish on anyone, but it doesn't mean that things can't end up on a good note.
