In this compilation of inner recollections, we are taken on a journey of self-reflection, childhood nostalgia, stress and vulnerability through deeply imagistic metaphors, raw emotion and simple tone. Hours and Days explores the inner struggles of an adolescent in the face of societal pressures set by the education system, family, friends and by oneself. The poems in these pages reminisce about the past, challenge the present and fear the future. A collection of smiles and tears, Hours and Days will leave you reaching for your dreams and facing the hardships of reality.
