Description:
What happens after the end of all things? For three decades, I drank the Kool-Aid, colored inside the lines, and followed all the rules set out for me--as a woman, as a wife, as a mother. All for... nothing. Or so I believed. After it all came apart, I struggled for four dark years to purge the poison of other people's expectations from my life. This poetry is a peek into the pain of that transformation, but it also holds hope for better days ahead.

Review
I was kindly sent this book for free by the author for review. This short book is a collection of poems by T.J Garcia. They tell a story of a woman's struggle with other peoples expectations amongst other things. I normally don't read poetry nor have I ever had the urge to but I am glad I got a chance to read this collection. It starts off in a very dark place and as you read on you can see the light slowly shining in on the writer as she starts to take a hold of her life. Some of my personal favourites are: 'Bipolar', 'Frustration', 'No Regrets', 'Graduation' and 'A Pound of Perspective'. Sad but with a sense of beauty that someone could pull themselves up and try rebuilding their life. I would recommend for any lover of poetry.
