The World in My Eyes

By Rachenza Prosper

For young poet Rachenza Prosper, life comes with ups and downs. It can be cruel, but she uses pen and paper to get by and express how life affects her. The World in My Eyes is a book of poems based on the life of a teenage girl. Prosper writes not only to express herself but also to help other young women open up about the struggles they face.

The collection is separated into two parts. In Part One: Surroundings, Prosper covers the issues in life and topics that are important to her. In Part Two: Beauty, she shares how she struggled with self-image and even how she overcame that particular challenge. Despite what people might think, its not easy being a teenage girl in todays world; sharing triumphs is an important way to boost other young women.

The World in My Eyes is honest and true, bold and brash. Detailing topics like insecurity, love, and friendship, Prospers words encompass the emotional inner workings of a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood. Her words will encourage and inspire as she bravely bares her own struggles in the hopes of lifting up other girls like her.

This book has developed me as a person, and I will admit I gave up more times than I can count. But I knew that writing this book will not only change my life but someone else’s too. I want this book to help others see things differently
