Lace Fishnets: A book of poems from one evolving young woman to another

So what is Lace Fishnets about and what even gave me the want to finally... After over 10 years of being a poet... want to write a poetry book? I could give you a really witty answer that sounds "good"... But that wouldn't be realistic. To start with... I'm a young 20 something who has been through all kinds of things and it would be truly selfish not to share it with you ladies. How I felt when it happened, and the lessons I chose to learn from it. Being a writer is a blessing because you can truly express yourself through words.

This is for the young woman who feels left out

The young woman who doesn't feel good enough

The young woman who has been betrayed

The one who has been cheated on

The one who has been talked about

The one who has been lied to

lied on
manipulated
abused
broken
forgotten
left for dead
confused
tainted
tried

And all things us young women go through that we don't talk about. I hope after reading this book of poetry and REAL short stories... You feel a bit more refreshed. Refreshed knowing you are not alone when it comes to pain, and never will be alone. Sometimes we don't need advice or even help... Sometimes we just need a "Wow... me too!" I was broken too, lied to too, hurt too... I was abused too! It's the me too's that causes us to know someone went through the same thing we did and turned out okay.

Meaning behind the title:
"Lace fishnets" to me are feminine. Something a lady wears when she wants to feel "grown"... "pretty." there's something beautiful about a young woman coming into her true inner GROWN woman. Through all the pain, brokeness, and lies... We are STILL women. Turn the pages... and my prayer is you become inspired.

Prayer: Father God... Even while I'm sitting here still broken I pray you can still use me. God let it be all of you, and none of me. God allow me to even inspire myself to love more. Allow me to heal as I write this. I plead the blood of Jesus over this venture...
