I'll Be Okay(And Other Lies I've Told Myself)

Sometimes, the person you deceive the most is yourself. The poems in this book range from my freshman to senior year of high school. Through writing this book I hope to connect with those similar to myself, to let them know that they are not alone. Poetry has always been a mechanism for exploiting the truth to reveal what is truly inside. Maybe...you ll learn something new about yourself. __________________________________________________ ""If you're afraid to write it, that's a good sign.
