In Shadow of Becoming, a teenager stands at the crossroads of adolescence and adulthood, caught in a whirlwind of doubt and discovery. As they grapple with the complexities of growing up, they question everything they once believed-faith, self-worth, purpose, and trust. With each passing day, the weight of uncertainty grows heavier, casting a shadow over their journey toward understanding. This collection of poems reflects the raw and introspective struggle of a young soul wrestling with the shifting tides of identity and belief. Through moments of vulnerability and reflection, Shadow of Becoming explores the delicate balance between questioning and accepting, between searching for answers and embracing the unknown. It is a heart-wrenching exploration of the confusing path from youth to adulthood, where every answer seems blurry, and every choice feels like a step into the dark. The poems speak to anyone who has ever wondered who they truly are, what they truly believe, and where they are truly going. This is a journey of self-discovery, of growth, and of ultimately finding light in the shadows.
