These poems are not intended to be negative, but to shed light on the many experiences of my life. This helped me to navigate life in a therapeutic way. Some are just writings about experiences with family members, as a labor of love. However, most were written as a result of unpleasant, past experiences, which helped me to navigate life in a therapeutic way. I hope that some of them will be inspirational to others, by showing that they too can overcome or navigate emotional obstacles in their own way; mine just happened to be writing!
