Inspired & Motivated: An Emotional Journey Back To Me

by D'Juana L. Manuel-Smith

C.C. had so much to say but was afraid to speak up. Her writing was the only outlet for her impassioned cries to be heard. Tired of living in a failing marriage, it was finally time to speak her mind and Jesse was right there to hear her voice. Their meeting was accidentally on purpose. The poems featured in this book reflect the thoughts and emotions envisioned in the heart of a woman who desperately wants to change the repetitive patterns she finds herself living with. Through these words open a world she has never known. A world where her opinion makes a difference, her voice can be heard over the crowd and her feelings are worth sharing without hesitation or dread. The fact that these words and emotions brought life to a dreamer’s inner most thoughts and are seen as stimulating by someone other than herself as building fire, passion, and a strength all so new has opened her eyes to a world of possibilities. There is freedom in expression when it comes from the heart!

I thought the story was relatable and had a few situations that hit home personally. Each of the poems showed the emotions of the characters and added to the mood.
