Tracing the emotions felt by a person growing up and leaving home, Forgive My Gypsy Heart is a collection of poetry that illustrates the struggle of facing a changing life while battling mental illness.

This compilation of long form, short form, and micro poetry is heavily influenced by the author's personal knowledge of mental illness. Each poem is based on her experience of leaving home for the first time, and things she has seen and felt through her eyes, heart, mind, and soul.
