HIGHEST RANK #47 in Poetry For years, I have taken pleasure in crippling others' happiness, like crushing a butterfly between your fingers, it is satisfying but sadly addictive. You see, pain is always lethal, it is there, standing proud and ready to show your true intentions to a world of good born souls, especially, happy girls. They always attract me, for I have never been able to stay away from damaging their whiteness. Their pink rose cheeks turning pale from their salty tears is my favorite piece of art. The truth is-I was not born bad...I had been born innocent, yet life had already made me a monster. A young caged flower is inside me, poisoned, waiting to be rescued by magic. But my thorns are faster to destroy anyone who is willing to save me. Flowers have thorns too, and not even poetry can describe how insufferable my truth is. This book is a poetry collection of confessions made by a troubled person who's spent most of his life destroying everything on his way. This book gives you the opportunity to be inside the bad guy's head, entirely. Read and try not to cringe.

There's something weird about us humans. We hurt the ones we love, because we're too afraid of seeing them get hurt by something else. Something bigger. Because when we grow up, we change in innumerable ways. We hope we're still going to be the same people, even after our hearts break. But we don't. We never do. Annabelle McLaren is the daughter of one of the richest families on the West Coast. She's a fashion designer, a student, a daughter, and a sister. And if you ask her, what makes a person rich? She'd say, in a heartbeat, family. However, this year, Annabelle catches a glimpse of a fate she's not at any time considered would be hers. And the worst part about this glimpse, is that she'd take it from the cup of one of the people she never thought she'd be in need of their help. With stabs from the people she loves most, a wound cracking open from a person she'd never thought she would see again, and a secret that would turn her world upside down, Anna's fate is no longer only hers.
