The Strength Within Me

By: Blaise, C. J.

The Strength Within Me is a collection of poems and prose from the soul. Everyone has their own way of dealing with feelings and writing has been mine for as long as I can remember. Grief, pain and happiness are not linear, and neither are my prose and poems. There is no dividing of pain to growth like many other poem books I know. To me, they happen simultaneously and are mixed together more often than not. You will not find that decisive divide in my writings, but you will see them side by side. We all can relate to losing friends and loves, and not having any idea what we're doing with our lives. My poems and prose are relatable and realistic while holding the power of the heart. I understand that poetry and prose is not for everyone, but there is something in my prose and poems for anyone who wants to dive into this journey or life with me. Life may come with lots of ups and downs, but this book is to remind you that you are not alone.
