    About this ebook

    This book is a collection of poetry that has been made by myself and kept for years, the earliest being 2009. I have waited so long to build a large enough collection and be able to distribute in a format that it deserves. The inspiration for these poems is life in general at times of great emotion or at night I would wake up and write or sometimes one line of a poem would run around in my head until I put it down on paper or until I wrote the rest of the lines to finish it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
