    About this ebook

    A SERPENT'S LAMENT is a collection of poems spanning a decade. This body of work depicts the turbulent navigation of life through the lens of a young and troubled writer. In this collection, you will find poetry with the common theme of war, particularly between the heart and mind. Common themes of despair and unrequited love are presented and pondered . A SERPENT'S LAMENT is a journey through the deepest, darkest corners of the human soul, as well as the grim reflections of the vagabond spirit. It is an expedition through the ugly…a young woman's best kept secrets, revealed.
