SYNOPSIS:<\/strong> A collection of poems carefully picked to describe my teenage years while suffering from Bipolar II Disorder.
When I first made this booklet, I initially had a more pessimistic theme in mind. I had wanted it to be the anti-thesis of the \u201cLove Conquers All\u201d idea that had gotten popular in the mainstream.
But as I got older, I realized that it described the vicious cycle that I was stuck in. I noticed this pattern while I curated my poems for my booklet\u2013my strongest poems were often written at my best or at my worst.
But it\u2019s never one or the other, it\u2019s a slow transition. Like I said, a cycle.
The poems in this booklet were a manifestation of my symptoms. It\u2019s not perfect, and it\u2019s a whirlwind of emotions but I hope you grow to appreciate the vulnerability like I did.
(tw: depression, suicide ideation, and self-harm)<\/p>\n

\"Review01\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Alyssa\u2019s Pillow Talk, accounts her personal and honest experiences in a form of poetic verses written at her best and worst situations. Every poem that includes in this booklet reflects deep and shallow emotions that tackle sensitive topics like depression which right off the very beginning of this book, trigger warnings are mentioned. With 52 pages, you\u2019ll witness already a lot of feelings coming out every few lines and passages.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the lines from \u2018How Are You Doing\u2019, among the poems, is the thing that caught up with me. I know any of us can relate since this is an easy question yet somewhat complex to answer. There\u2019s really a difficult approach and that poem (not in usual form but still poetically fine) tells it all. You\u2019ll just don\u2019t know what to answer to it but saying \u2018you\u2019re fine\u2019 is ok although underneath there\u2019s more from it.<\/p>\n

In all, this collection of poems is a beautiful imperfection created with the right choices of words. Showing her (Alyssa) vulnerability through this is already an act of braveness and letting the readers know and learn from it. I highly recommend it to anyone out there experiencing the same feeling of suffering from pain, and depression with their internal battles and broken-hearted. Hope you give this book a read!<\/p>\n
