Poetry and Beyond

This book is a collection of poetry and
sayings from the emotions and experiences of the author's life and
perspective throughout her teenage and early adult years from the ages
of 12 through 19. The subject matter varies in nature, from love to
perseverance, respectively.
Writing became a passion and a positive means
of expression through awkward and often confusing teenage years - this
book serves as a monument and diary to highlight these moments.
This book is an inspiration through
adolescence that despite the perception that sadness, heartbreak,
stress and confusion often plague the daily existence of many teens
that happiness, prosperity, love and even self-acceptance often lurk
around the corner, usually when unexpected. Self-love is half the
battle of happiness. The other half is realizing that your dreams are
right in front of you. You can achieve anything if you believe. After
all, life itself can be a dream if you allow it to be.
