i dive into the well of my body
and end up in another world

Evening.
So I am through with the book, it is quite candid.
Emotional and feelings riding high.
I could read a poem and be like – she wrote this when jovial, another she wrote this in pain etc.
Author capture the struggles of a young person trying to find love and stability in this world and being offered the opposite so well.
Also it should be an interesting read for those who think that their suffer alone- I believe no, and life as in the poems have its highs and downs and we should savour every moment of it. Tide change and be prepared when it does. Be courageous to try out , it might work out or not. Human is to error and we should not judge ourselves so harshly.
That is what I have gained.
Good work
To the author keep them coming
