This collection of poems defines and analyzes the deep-rooted and crushing impact of a dysfunctional and traumatic childhood. The aftermath and affects continue and carry into adulthood.

Believing your past defines you is an imprisonment. Thinking you must address it obstructs you. Questioning your claim to your happiness is exhausting. Trying to decipher the events overtake and overwhelm.

When you harness your power of choice, you accept and authorize every step going forward. You choose to get passed the past and find your truth. You discover a new meaning and take your future back.

This is a journey to freedom, truth and empowerment.
