This book is a collection of poems in the hopes that they help even just one person feel understood and seen. These were written in times of happiness, in times of anger, in times of defeat, in times of comfort and in times of sadness. Spanning from living with Epilepsy, the emotions that come with being adopted, of being bullied, and of finding comfort in the little things that helped push through, these poems are a first-hand perspective on what trials a young girl has gone through, that maybe others have as well.
