Journey Through My Heart is a book of nonconventional poetry written during my darkest years from 1995 to 2005. The poems are more like singsong nursery rhymes than conventional colorful prose. The atmosphere is somewhat negative, and emotions are rampant. I am sure there are multitudes that experience bliss, happiness, and success, but heartache seems to be more prevalent for most. Even if only felt for a moment in time, emotions are a significant part of our lives. They shape who we are and give life substance. Besides, not all of us experience true happiness, but who escapes heartache, anger, or sadness?
