    About this ebook

    Tonea Melvin gets home from a hard day at school. She looks to one of her many talents, writing, as an outlet to get any emotional stress out. She decides to pick up a pencil, get some paper and starts to just writing about herself. She realizes that she has a story that she is finally willing to let out, and is going to use the many poems and short stories to help portray everything she wants her audience to know. This 15-year-old sophomore rediscovers herself while going into deep details about herself using her most powerful talent.

      Introduction: Why?

      My name is Tonea. You can call me Nea, or Toni. I respond to anything, really. I am 15 years old, going on 16 in July and I am a sophomore in high school. I just got home from a whole day of holding back tears in most of my classes. Not just because math and history is that bad, but because…well, I actually don’t know. Sometimes I just wake up with these moods, and I just don’t want to be here at all. Guess it is just a typical part of this ‘depression’ thing my doctor keeps telling me about. I guess that’s where my writing comes from as well. The only time I sit here and write in my journal is when I’m trying to figure things out or when I just need to get anything I have inside out.
