Excerpt from book:
We ask questions with questions.
As if we shield our shoulders from life's nasty daggers.
I can't think of suggestions.
Believing god's angels were sought and now captured.
Feeling so unprotected.
We shiver and shake at the fear of earthquakes.
Its not the quakes we fear.
The shaking of lonely hearts knowing no one is near.
We slow dance with loved ones.
To the last song you'll ever hear.
We only punish ourselves for falling in love.
Our punishment is for love to quickly disappear.
My ReviewMost of us have hidden or burned our teenage journals, but not Chris Garrett. Not only did he keep his writing, but he published a book of his teen angst poetry and I am sure glad he did! Chris's writing reflects being an adolescent experiencing heartache from both the home and social environments. His words took me back to those teen years that were hard and weird and confusing. His writing is raw and real - a solid book of teen poetry.
