Her poems have been identified as genderfluid and LGBTQ.In a short preface Kara offers a touching view of this book – ‘This is a collection of my writings that concern my illness, my trauma and reflect a negative time in my life. Yet still, I believe that this world can be filled with magic if you let it. I believe anything is possible, and that we all have some purpose, something valuable to contribute to the world — so long as we can find it within ourselves. I believe that people are kind at their core, and it's the world that makes them hard. I believe that deep down we know who the right people are. It's a feeling you can't describe or place, but you just know — they're the ones who matter, who will show up every time, who will be tied to you in this life. I believe we all have a light within us, and some of us either don't believe we're capable or we grew used to hiding it behind layers. There is no happy ending yet, but I’m alive, and that to me is good enough.’The poems own a savage beauty that are as sensitive as any poetry of our time, partly because of the innate gift of Kara’s talent, and in part due to the courage he has the strength to share. An example follows.ON THORNSthere is a thorn stuck in my leg.i ask you once then twice if you feel it,you tell me i've asked you this beforei sew my lips into a smile and you tell me it's the prettiest i've ever beenthere is a thorn stuck in my leg.i tell you i'm itching, itching,the kind of itch i can't escape from,the kind of itch that has no start,no end,and no middle at all.the kind of itch that makes me want to rip my skin offand you say i'm talking too muchso i turn the volume down on my brainand you thank me for the quietthere is a thorn stuck in my legor my armor my neckit's the same, i sayit's the sameeven if it isn'tthere is a thorn stuck in my legand i am buzzing, buzzing, buzzinguntil you ask if maybe i am the beeand i am the one who has stung herselfyou laugh but i think you're afraidthere is a thorn stuck in my leg—i am smilinga thorn—i am screaminga thorn— i am smilinga thorn—there is a thorn stuck in my legi'm laughing nowyou say it sounds like i'm cryingand you wish i would stopso i reach in with jagged handsand pull out my lungslaying them out like lovely flowers,laying them out like the reddest of roses,laying them out like only you could have seen,and you tell me,you tell me,it's the prettiest i've ever beenVery powerful works by an exceptional poet. Read these glimmers of sanity being carved from a world that makes little sense and the poems grow into your psyche – if you let them. Grady Harp, November 17 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Raw and emotional *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2017* Kara Petrovic is a very young author. And a very talented one, in my personal opinion, having already added her poetry books to the list of things to keep an eye on.The poems reflect her struggle with some very serious Mental Illnesses, helping to raise attention to them. You can certainly feel the anguish and the pain in her words. She sounds very mature for her age and I’m sure writing helps her in the fight against her illness. This is very good writing, focused on her relationships with the spawn of 3 years, and you can see how each one of them affected the author. It is a very raw description of her feelings and how lonely and devastating it feels sometimes. It’s Kara Petrovic’s personal story and each word brings emotion to your reading. The style is quite amazing considering how young the author is. A very good reading that helps to shed some light on the world of those struggling with a mental illness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Raw, Emotional, Lovely *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018* Wow. This young pet is talented, honest, and exposing her deepest feelings in this book of poetry. Kara struggles with several ailments including PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder - all that contribute to the struggles she lays bare for all of us to read. The writing is excellent. She is very gifted and some of the poems I read several times just to soak in everything she was explaining. This is emotional, raw, and honest explanations of Kara and her love for others, the love she has received, and heartbreak she has felt. Overall this is one of the best books of poetry I have read - it connects the reader to a deeper understanding and meaning that I cannot explain, but can only feel. This is not your silly, cheery, bubbly book of poetry. It is dark, deep,and meaningful. Definitely worth a read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49811531-beyond-rock-bottom-paperback-april-23-2017](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49811531-beyond-rock-bottom-paperback-april-23-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
