This book is about thoughts that have entered my head and manifested themselves onto paper through words. The most powerful ways of expression are often through written words. Like a photograph captures memories that last a lifetime, poetry is an expression through words that can be looked upon and appreciated long after the emotion has been felt. Poetry is like therapy, wherein you can empty your soul on paper and then look back at it and understand exactly what you were thinking at that point in time. This book is a compilation of feelings felt through the years, people I have met, and emotions I have gone through. I believe we are all connected through our human emotions; these are the most raw and basic of all bonds that can be created. I sincerely hope that as you read along, you connect with some of these emotions and in some way that becomes ‘our’ human connection.
