In transition between childhood and adulthood are The Teen Ages. As a teenager from 1993-1999, my thoughts and expressions about life, the world, school, nature, religion, dreams and people were documented in the pages of my poetry. Although I started writing at ten years old, this collection does not include any earlier work, nor is it a complete collection of poetry written during this time period. It is a sample of some of my favorite work in reflection of growing up.
