"Eighth grade isn't easy for anyone and we all look for ways to express ourselves. Some people dye their hair, other people start wearing makeup for the first time, and I wrote poems about a crush I had on a boy that I couldn't talk to anyone about but him; and when I couldn't talk to him I wrote poetry instead. " When I stumbled onto seven sonnets I wrote in eighth grade I was filled with many emotions. Happiness that I had found them, lingering hurt from a preteen crush, and confidence in my skills as a writer. There was a time in my life when these sonnets were one of the things I was proud of the most. I owe it to my past self to publish them like I always said that I would. Alongside the sonnets I have included three poems which continue the theme of heartbreak and one poem which covers what it means to exist at all.
