More Than Just A Shadow

En savoir plus sur le livre

Someone asked me, how do I write poems? I said, I took my heart and sprinkled it in every word of my poem. When I cannot scream the truth in my head and the bottled emotions in my heart, that's when my pen does the job by tattooing all of them on a piece of paper. Being a migrant, living alone, miles apart from my family, the pen has been there all the time to encode my thoughts. When my ink dries up, I noticed all the shadows of my past, but if you will open your heart while reading every piece of this book, you will realize that this book is more than just a shadow of my life experiences. The lessons I learned, the strength I gained after facing all the challenges, how I managed to pick up all the pieces of my broken heart and how I composed myself to stand up and start anew after falling so many times; I can say that my book is "More Than Just A Shadow". Behind this book are all the people who serve as my inspiration to keep on going despite failures for me to achieve my dreams. This book is a medley of my sufferings, happiness, contentment, fear, pain, anger, trust, uncertainty, love, heartaches, and observations in society. Every piece is a window into my heart and tells an important story.These poems are not just a collection of all my written pieces; compiled together, this is where my heart is!
