About the Poems

The poems in this book were written between the ages of 14 and 22 years old. This book started during my youth when I was sentenced to Juvenile Life with the Department of Juvenile Justice system.

Long nights, bad dreams and a temper that caused bad judgment, I was encouraged to write what I feel. It is the poems in this book that helped me through so much and allowed me to express what I feel in an exceptional way.

I never knew writing my first poem would be the beginning of a book that told a different part of my life through each page. So I wrote this book for those who don’t understand me, for others who are misunderstood, and to express what I have felt through the toughest times a teenager can imagine.

This book is to show lost souls can be found and those with no soul still have a chance.
