Poems are an expression of who we are and what we feel. As we get older our understanding of the world changes. We go from innocent children, to confused adolescents, and then to young adults where we end up with more questions and not enough answers. Through everything: the tears, heart breaks, and let downs; we learn to adapt and to adjust. This book was inspired by my own personal endeavors and what I've seen around me. For every occasion, there are words to describe what is felt and what is believed. Then we take that moment and we can learn from it and better ourselves. Or we pretend that the event never happened and continue with our lives as before. I hope this book inspires every reader to take a look at their own lives. Only by critiquing ourselves will be able to find the strength to learn to grow. - The Author, Jade Davis
