When a plant buds and grows defective, is the fault in the soil or the seed? Which one is easier to believe? It's hard to tell whether it's easier to blame a family for a problem child, or the child for their own problems. It's hard to tell which is correct, too. And by the time this is even considered, it might be too late to matter, anyway.For the child, though, even if it doesn't matter, it's a constant source of torment and hurt. From this hurt,...

Many of the poems tell stories.

« Une clairière verte et accueillante, Me fait face une biche pétillante, Y court en faisant des bonds, Tout est vivant, rien n'est moribond, De l'herbe tendre, verte et humide, Des animaux heureux boivent de l'eau limpide, Seuls les bruits de la nature s'expriment, Un coin sauvage comme il y en a peu en prime. »

This compendium is a collection of poems written throughout a decade. It is, essentially, a journey through a young man's life during that time.

The hope with this book is to give others a peek into a struggling mind, but also to hopefully interpret each poem for themselves.
