These poems have been very special to me since I started writing this collection in high school. This collection encapsulates my experience growing up and the emotions that come with getting older.

In their full forms, they are actually song lyrics that I have written over the span of three years, and with each one radiates a different melody to me. I hope that the reader feels that same melodic effect that I felt when I wrote them, and that they are able to find their own meaning within each line.
