This is a collection of poetry detailing the author's summer after graduating high school. It discusses mental health, relationships, growth, and heartbreak with relevant poems that can reach teenage, young adult, and adult readers. The lessons learned are hard, but this book shows how the author overcame and grew from her experiences.

I wonder when we talk again
If you will recognize me
I'm not the girl I was
Timid and afraid
Of both myself
And the world
Pulsing and breathing
All around me

You might think that
She died in the inferno
But I know that she did not
The disguise she had woven
Burned to ashes

I was reborn
Freed from the
Cage I had made for myself
I revealed the searing light
That was hidden in
The deepest parts of my soul

I had finally realized
I was a smart, bold, courageous
Beautiful and most important of all
Unapologetically genuine woman

All along I had been
A phoenix waiting for my time
To rise
