Story of a Life

By Amanda Reid

Story of a Life is book is based on a series of events and problems going on in the world, and it is written in poem form. I want to be able to reach people who are or have struggled with these problems. I want you all to know you are not alone; I have struggled with many of these as well.

I hope that with this book, you may find comfort and understanding of people who are struggling with these emotions or circumstances. I only wish to help people understand that mental health is important. Also, our actions and choices affect others around us. This book does not promote violence in any way.

I just want to bring comfort to those who have struggled or are struggling in life. We can all use a helping hand or a voice once in a while. I really hope you all enjoy this and are having a wonderful day. There is going to be a second book coming sometime soon, and this reaches deeper into emotional experiences. With all that said, I hope you all are well. Keep your head high and keep pushing on for you all matter in life.

I am not a doctor by any means, but I have struggled and watched a lot of people in my life struggle. If you are struggling, look to friends and family for support please. I promise you are not alone. To all my readers, I hope this book truly helps. Have a wonderful day.

Introduction

I want to start by saying this book is very personal to me. This book is a series of emotions and events written in poem form.

I want to be able to connect with people who have or are going through the same emotions and events and let them know they are not alone.

We have all been through something in our lives that may be hard to speak of. With that said, I hope you can connect with these poems I wrote and feel at ease. These poems are based on PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. There are also some very dark events that are very deep.

There are also poems based on addictions. Also, some of the poems are written about right now, including economic problems and being drawn down with the way of the world. There are also poems based on suicidal thoughts. If indeed you or somebody you know is going through this, please contact somebody. You do matter, and you are not alone. The number posted below is the suicide hotline.

We all need a helping hand sometimes. We all deserve a little kindness. Life is hard sometimes, so if we all lend an ear and listen, we might just be able to save a life. We all need a friend, whether you are a loner, a high school student, or even a person who is very social.

We all need that one person to turn to when times get dark.

With all that said, I hope you enjoy yourself, and remember, you all mean something.

Never Be Free

When in doubt, she cannot find her way out.

Out she looks to the stars.

A twinkle in the sky or a star that shines so brightly.

The light reflects on her bleeding soul.
