The poetry in this book was written in my early to mid-20's and my style of writing poetry follows no rhyme or meter. I just write those things that come to mind and some aren't pretty. Writing for me is a form of therapy and catharsis. It allows me to deal with the never ending stream of data, I receive daily from interacting with the world.
My twenties were angsty and not very enjoyable for me. Some things (beliefs, actions, etc) have changed since then and some have not. Although I am not experiencing such torrentially strong emotions anymore, my discontent with life seems to have followed me into my 30's.
Although not all poetry in this book is based on personal experiences, all experiences had a profound effect on me and shaped my views on life.
I am typing this in a time when I've quit my job because I couldn't deal with it and trying to figure out what to do in my 30's. I've not figured it out yet. So, my therapy of writing is something I've fallen back on and will hopefully clear my head of the emotions so I can make a proper plan, even if that plan ends up being going back to my former employer.
