dark, deep and cold poems as well as some bright ones. Each poem was written in a time that the content was relevant in my life that I truly felt the way my poem sounds. It may be dark at time but after the dark the rising sun washes away the sadness of the previous day. I hope to connect with others who have went threw similar happenings, or can relate a poem in some way to something completely different, and provide relief in some way. Realizing you're not alone is a powerful tool in times of needs, use it. For years this book has been my outlet to show what is inside the strong women that I am. In my day to day life I am an older sister with four children below me who need me to be a good example of what a strong adult women looks like. Despite what my poems may suggest I do this very well and have rarely shown that side of me. *All poems are mine and a few paints/drawings.* Most photos however are from all over the web, I do not claim credit to them. Enjoy
