These poems reflect the experiences our youth go through including incarceration, trauma, victims of discrimination and racism as well as the struggles of cultural identity. Every student that has been a part of my teaching world has truly touched my heart and taught me so much about life. The raw conversations my young people have had with me have shaped who I am as person and have impacted my outlook on life. Sometimes children can't tell us what they are really thinking and this book shows some of thinking that I know teenagers wish they could say whilst they are going through some of the most difficult times in their lives.
