Author's Note

Life, to me, is nothing but a journey of the heart. This book is a compilation of poems and musings I have written since very young. I kept journals and Diaries filled with my tears, joys and longings from long ago...

Gathering all these poems together was an emotional walk through my past. Some poems are also recent. I have many more for another book...

I hope that you, dear reader, can relate to some of these poems. They have saved me from myself many times...

Writing can be a form of self-therapy and discovery period it can soften the pain and keep us honest with our shortcomings. I can laugh at some of these poems now, as they remind me of how foolish and naive I was. I have put all out here for you to see...

All of my experiences have colored who I am today. I still choose to keep my heart open. I hope this book will inspire you to do the same. No matter what we have gone through, Love Is All that matters and the end. We are all beautiful messes... with scars.
