Ill Be Okay(And Other Lies Ive 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...youll learn something new about yourself. __________________________________________________ "If youre afraid to write it, thats a good sign.
