25 Years to Life

<p>1 year in time seems short but each day can bring an experience that may not be easily forgotten. Society sets expectations that we don't ask for but that we must meet. We are also met with expectations in relationships and I'm sure we have some expectations for others. Naturally no one can exceed expectations every time. In this book holds 25 years of trying to meet expectations of others myself and the world around me. 25 Years to life characterizes my life and what conclusions I arrived at after introspection and reflection. I hope the poems resonate with whoever reads this. May these poems allow you to reflect on your life experience bring words that can carry the weight and may you begin to see the beauty these experiences bring no matter how painful.</p>
