The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace

4.0

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.
