I have no words for how much I loved this. I'll try to do it justice and just say that had I known this book was a book, I would have purchased a long time ago. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys to read and give it a solid 4.5 stars.

This was a poetry collection that I wholeheartedly enjoyed. It is a wonderful and broad compendium of some of the fantastic teenage voices in the literary world. Full of beautiful prose and sentiment, these poems were stunningly thought-provoking and held such meaning and depth. It definitely shows the true power and significance of the written word, particularly that which comes from the mind of a young person. Each poem is so poignant and pure, which shows the beauty of the young mind. The writers have allowed themselves to enter the depths of their mind and soul, and bravely expressed what lies there.

I absolutely love how much Teen Ink encourages young people to express themselves and find their voices. Poetry—and writing in general, really—was something that helped me a great deal during my teenage years once I discovered it. It was a way to get my feelings out when I felt like I had no other option. And I always felt very thankful to be in a situation where I had a lot of support and reassurance from the people in my life in regards to my pursuit of writing. It is wonderful to see that there are some great resources to give teenagers this much needed support. I truly enjoyed my reading experience. This is an important and highly inspiring collection of words that I hope many people will read.

I didn't like the book because I can't relate to the book.

Leave This Song Behind is lyrical and touching. I found myself lost in the words of kids who have gone through the same things as me.
Thank you to NetGalley and Hci Publishing for providing me with a EGalley of this book!

Thanks to Netgalley.
Leave This song Behind- Epic poetry by great writers.
Wonderful piece of imagination and flawless enthuciasm.
I've enjoyed some poems, eminence and Juvenile and their propaganda possessions wrapped into poetry.

*Don;t fall in love
Don;t fall in love with a girls who reads
she'll overanalyze your every word
and she ll nevr understand why
people aren;t paperback
and she'll write into your corners
search for a plot into your veins
and make a metaphor of your broken heart

Ahhhh how I love poetry collections! It was so inspiring to see that it was people like me who wrote these poems, and it really got me into that poetry-obsessed mind frame (you all know what I mean, am I the only one that listens to Shane Koyczan on repeat after reading some good poetry?)

Of course, some were better than others, some resonated with me and some dissipated, but I think this is a really good one to keep on your shelf/in your library for reference when you're feeling alone.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this, in exchange for an honest review.
