"Things I Have To Tell You"

Going back in time can make you remember both the highs and the lows of a certain time in your life. It doesn't matter whether you grew up in the Depression and money was tight, "the flower child" years of the 60s, or were a member of the big hair, B.U.M. sweatshirt, and ugly leggings that had stirrups on the bottoms posse. Everyone will be reminded of what they went through during their teenage years after reading, Things I Have To Tell You. The language may be different, but the concerns are universal. The poems in this book took me back to the love for boys, the heartache they caused, stealing alcohol from my parents, the constant gossiping about other girls, the times I couldn't look at myself in the mirror because I was never pretty enough, the back stabbing, the semi-formal dances, and the terrible school pictures. From eating disorders, to first loves, to questioning your sexuality, to finding yourself, this book has a poem to help stimulate your heart and bring you back to your teen years. Find out where this book take YOU back to.
