This book is a collection of my poetry and photos which were taken through the years. When I was in 9th grade my English teacher introduced Poetry to me. These poems were written from dark and enlightened times in my life. Writing and taking photos has been theraputic and uplifting. Life is a journey that can either crush you or bring you to the mountain you were meant to stand on. This insight may help the ones who have seen the darkness and the light of life.
