    About this ebook

    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 dont 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.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
