This is not a Disney Princess Fairytale.
"The Princess Saves Herself in This one," is filled with a plethora of poetry that journeys through the hardships of familial love to self-love with prose that compelled me to pause on a few occasions. The Book consists of four different parts, the princess She's a pre-teen who's suffering in ways no one that age deserves. The Damsel: She's searching for a hero in the wrong places. The Queen: She's a woman now, who've broken the chain and claimed her throne and god it is beautiful. You: Now when all is said and done, the reader is gifted with poetic justice.
The poems are typed in a spacious format that's very common in the poetry community which was a bit cliche but necessary at times when the words require a pause to swallow and suspense to chew. What makes this one extremely special is that it's all based on the real-life experiences of the author and the fact that she dipped her feathered quill in the blood of her own and wrote her agony for the world to see is so raw and brave. This was definitely one of my favorite poetry pieces.

I cried, this book was moving in a way I wasn’t expecting it to for a lunch break read.

I love how the author said "Poetry is anything you want it to be" because I feel that this is one of those occasions that anything was thrown into this and was called poetry.
Being that I'm incredibly too new to poetry to see all the deeper meanings behind every poem, and maybe I read it too fast to allow myself to completely digest things, but... why is this poetry? I'll continue to make efforts to read poetry because I do find it interesting.

I am not usually a poetry person, but I enjoyed this and found it really accessible. A lot of the experiences described in the poems resonated with me and made me feel. I enjoyed the first three parts more than the last part. Part 4 felt a bit scattered, like miscellaneous poems instead of having a connecting thread like in the first three sections.
