Synopsis

A special, dramatized audiobook version read by the author and Roshina Ratnam.

**I know you don’t want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you’re just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, “this is beautiful,” when no one else can see what you see. Or, “Here, this is where the pain is.”  But some part of you knows, the truth about the words you cannot say is that they only hurt until you say them. They only hurt until the person who needs to hear them, hears them.  Because we are human, and the closest we’ve ever come to showing each other who we really are, and how we love, is with words. So I’m going to try to say to you here, what I wish you’d say to me too. Please.
Listen. We can change things.
 
Here.

Goodreads review by Pratha on July 09, 2021

I don't really have a review for this other than that it was nice. Some poems were especially deep and very relatable. And here are a few of my favorite lines from the book: I know that you get ink on your fingers and don’t know when it’ll come off. I know strangers can stain your heart in the same......more

Goodreads review by Trisha on December 05, 2019

In me is a song no one can silence. Poetry is such a personal experience on what will impact us when we read the words and what won't. We all view things differently and this is one reason I love to read poetry. I enjoy seeing how others piece together what they are experiencing and how......more
