Because I Am Furniture

The verse format feels deeply intimate and raw. I'm curious if the author chose poetry to better express complex feelings that prose might dilute.

The honesty in the portrayal made me think about how trauma is experienced and processed. Were there moments that felt particularly real or difficult to read?

The choice to use poetry adds a layer of lyrical beauty to a painful subject. I wonder whether the author considered other formats or if verse was the only way to convey this story.
