Note to the reader:

This book was written in my adolescent years. So

I’ve decided to leave the book as it was written so

that I do not take away for the overall purpose as it

was originally intended. These poems are based on

my thought process from age 12 to 22. I know

longer think like this but I do hope you enjoy the

book.
