The penning and planning of this title, 'Journey', began while I chose Literature as my elective in secondary school. To me, Literature is not just a subject. Personally, I am extremely passionate about exploring poems, poetry and proses. The hidden meanings beyond the superficiality, the philosophical insight, the feelings of the writer, where they originated from and the morale of the story for each of those. Those interests me. Inspiration knocks on my door at any time. Be it while I'm taking a bus ride, listening to music or even after dealing with a heartbreak. Here, 'Journey' allows you to witness the different emotions that appeared through my many life experiences. Life is short, live in the present and cherish the moment! Stay strong and persevere on! Start reading now, and enjoy the beauty of Literature and take away some life lessons at the same time! Bear in mind that sticks and stones don't break our bones, they're merely the downs to overcome in life! Author to-note: To double my readers' happiness by sharing with them the lovely moments. For the sad moments, truly experience the emotions in the poems - for that will allow you to feel the emotions without having to go through the same situation. That, is the beauty of language and words!

Hurt and frightened and no where to turn except for my journal. Curse words being streamed at me and you would have thought I had a father for a sailor. ~E.M.C Many poems focusing on the subject of Mental Illness, that many suffer with and the subject just isn't brought up enough. Poems focusing on a day in the shoes of a person with a mental illness and how some even ordinary simple tasks may seem not so simple to them. There may be some uplifting poems but also raw ones filled with real emotions, things I've experienced. \\ Notes from me the poet: Some aren't all poems I guess you could say but these are my feelings and maybe some of you can relate :) feel free to comment or message me with any questions, feedback or suggestions I greatly appreciate anything!

Rose Willson, 18, student at the Donovan High in South Carolina. She never had experiences with things like love, meanwhile her friends were in a relationship for long. Maybe she was just too shy or afraid of what would happen after the beautiful acted play. Until a new student got into her class. What will let change her opinion to love? What is so special about this boy? Be welcome to a different love story! (Be aware that the focus of this story was set more on action, so don't expect any cute, lovely love story - to all those who've been amazed by this description I need to disappoint you, the romance ark is more in the background but counts though)

❝This is the love I fail to say. One that caused him to go away, for our love was never made to stay.❞ - all of the poems are mine :) #1 in Poetry 26/05/17 ! Thank you for reading♡ New book 'Everything You Never Knew' is out!

Perhaps someday these words will make up for the bloodshot eyes and sleepless nights. [H.R: #13 in Poetry] beautiful cover by: @-averagesky

Thoughts (noun); "The product of mental activity; that which one thinks." There are a million thoughts running through my brain. I may seem quiet but my mind isn't. I may space out but my mind says otherwise. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my thoughts and opinions. ⓒ 2015-2016 NURIN SYARAFINA NG ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
