Must read 🏆

One day I'll be happy is a beautiful collection of poems that are wonderfully written and deeply touching.

I don’t often read poetry but lately I have been trying to get out of my comfort zone when it comes to reading. By doing this, I have discovered some amazing authors and their incredible work, one day i'll be happy.: a collection of poems and thoughts to healing by Shalondra Brown, being one of them.

 

This collection of poems is beautiful and deeply touching. Some felt even a little bit personal to me, almost as if the author was talking directly to me. I was not expecting that, but I loved that. Also, while I don’t know much about writing poetry, the writing in this collection of poems was great! To me, the writing never felt forced, and words weren’t just there to fill a spot in the page. Everything just flowed smoothly. I will say that I did like some poems more than others, but that is completely normal because as I mentioned earlier, some just woke up feelings in me, both positive and negative, and while that was unexpected, I didn’t mind.

 

one day i'll be happy.: a collection of poems and thoughts to healing by Shalondra Brown is a book that I highly recommend. This is a must read if you like poetry and if you don’t know much about poetry like me, this might be a good place to start. This book certainly opened my eyes to a genre that I never really paid any attention to and now I can’t wait to explore for of it. Also, I don’t know if the author of this book, Shalondra Brown, is planning on publishing other works in the genre or in any other genre, but she is someone I will keep in my radar because I would love to read more of her work in the future.

I love reading and sharing my thoughts with others to encourage them to read something they might not know existed or perhaps had some misconceptions about the work. I also love discovering the hidden gems of the literary world.

i still love you, even if it hurts.

About the author

honeychilee. grew up in the small town of Oxford, NC. When she’s not writing self-deprecating fake deep poetry and dreaming about her HEA, she’s pretending to be the next Yoncé or Ariana, all while reading questionable romance tropes and cuddling her furry menaces to society. view profile
