This poetry book is a journey through my own personal adolescence, as I believe the best form of emotion is art. These poems have been written between the ages of 16-21 there have been highs and lows, good and bad. But no matter how bad the lows got I always picked myself up in a way ¿rose from the flames¿ just like the fabled phoenix. The poems have also been written so that hopefully people who go through the same ordeals have a type of emotional support. As they can see they are not the only one out there with problems. So if you are down and out read this book as you are not alone.
