My Life Through Poetry

These poems are a reflection of my life. I wrote them in order of what I was experiencing. The challenges as well as the easy parts. I didn't want to turn it into a sob story by writing a biography or exaggerate it by turning it into a fiction book. I wanted to be able to tell my stories through poems. I believe that poetry connects with people and brings people together on so many levels. You can interpret poetry in so many different ways and that is one of the many beauties of it. I have always admired poetry and always been in awe of it. There's so many different styles and lengths of poetry that there are no limits. It's the type of storytelling you can get lost in. With that being said, my hope is that by the end of this book, you come away impacted by at least one of these poems no matter how you interpret it.
