Although this person is gone, the idea of them is still always present. This contributes to a sense of isolation and insecurity. Many poems center around the idea of how the body is affected by the mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe collection starts out in a state of grief, gradually becoming more positive as it goes on. The themes begin to shift from self hatred and holding onto the idea of a person, to letting go, focusing on other people and becoming happier. The last poems bring about a feeling of hope for the future, and potential for self-love. Many of the poems are made stronger with additional photographs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eHazel Rain is a poet and songwriter from Bellingham, Washington.
