Through her young, angry eyes,
She peers from inside glass walls
That all want to throw stones at.
Grief tears apart her anger from the loss of a dear friend,
Growing into an independent, free woman.
Fiery eyes set her soul into eternal faith,
Twin Strings unbroken, Edward & Jane.

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
We are thrown into a surreal and disjointed reality with a group of close friends who live together who are playing house. Trauma and darkness lies underneath their colorful world, with secrets and lies strewn about in catchy songs that mirror our fixation on media to educate and amuse us.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

Gosh, this is STUNNING! What a perfect depiction of the story!
In a glance, I misread it as Edward and John 😅 I love that you wrote a poem for this challenge!
Woohoo! Great job and love me some Jane Eyre; was waiting for you to do this! 😁
You really want me to read this book, don't you, Melissa, lol?
