Poetry that is written from the heart shows one's true emotions at a certain stage or day in a poet's life. I chose these poems for my first book due to the ability that I can show my audience a deeper side of me that isn't necessary portrayed on the exterior of myself on a day to day basis. I also want to express a bit of motivational and inspirational poems I possess from my collection. I never used a strict criteria or a specific theme due to the ability of how I can cover a number of different topics even though my writing is more so on the lyrical rhyming scheme and/or freestyle.
