Poetry and Beyond: Life is But a Dream

This book is a collection of poetry and

sayings from the emotions and experiences of the author's life and

perspective throughout her teenage and early adult years from the ages

of 12 through 19. The subject matter varies in nature, from love to

perseverance, respectively.

Writing became a passion and a positive means

of expression through awkward and often confusing teenage years - this

book serves as a monument and diary to highlight these moments.

This book is an inspiration through

adolescence that despite the perception that sadness, heartbreak,

stress and confusion often plague the daily existence of many teens

that happiness, prosperity, love and even self-acceptance often lurk

around the corner, usually when unexpected. Self-love is half the

battle of happiness. The other half is realizing that your dreams are

right in front of you. You can achieve anything if you believe. After

all, life itself can be a dream if you allow it to be.<\/P>"
