The book includes dark and mature themes, from the very beginning, exploring the darkened corners of the teenage mind and then goes on to explain how the author eventually comes undone of their chains and begins to dream of a future, unknown to her before. """"Alone a bud grows, Deep inside my heart, Blooming like hope does, From within the cracks"""" Dreams are the desires you hope will materialize one day.
