Poetry is how I expressed myself from a very young age, in fact some of these poems I wrote when I was a kid, it is my inner child expressing herself when she felt the most vulnerable.

I hope you find yourself within the words I have written, I hope that these poems inspire you, I hope this book can bring awareness too.
