      Note to the reader:

      This book was written in my adolescent years. So

      I’ve decided to leave the book as it was written so

      that I do not take away for the overall purpose as it

      was originally intended. These poems are based on

      my thought process from age 12 to 22. I know

      longer think like this but I do hope you enjoy the

      book.

      Acknowledgements

      To God, Father, Lord, Master, and Creator, all

      praises, glory, and thanks go to you, cause without

      you there would be no me.

      To Nazerine Marie Sanders, Momma, thanks for

      loving and under-

      standing me.

      To Ms. C. Tanner-Osho, 8th grade English teacher,

      thanks for showing me my talent.

      To my many friends, whom names are not

      mentioned because they already know who they are,

      and all the haters. Thanks for sticking with me

      through the years.

      And a special thanks to Elline Marie Yarbrough, my

      aunt, thanks for loving, caring, understanding, and

      being there for me through everything.

      Introduction

      The heart of good soulful young minded

      poetry is featured in this book. Some may say that

      they’re very deep and full of emotions. It will make

      you feel happy, sad, mad, and relieved. It captures

      the emotions of everyday real life teenage

      situations.

      Many people might think this book is for

      teenagers to read
