In this book, there is poems about relationships, drug abuse, suicide, and much more. These poems are mostly objective, written with the aim to inspire and help people who find themselves in difficult times. These poems are about heavy topics, but inspire the reader to stand up, get help, or just to move on. Beautiful People in a Broken World is not just the title to the book and one of the poems, but really the concept of the book as well. The topics are mostly based around pain people experience due to the effects of the broken world Lacey Gerard Monroe claims we live in. This book is meant to inspire and help. All these topics aim to those two points.
