To discover our hidden truths all we need do is stare deep into the mirror. But beware, there are some secrets we aren't quite ready for. Lost within the lines of these poems and short stories are the weavings of a Wonderful World. One filled with imagination, fantasy, and the stark realities we are often loath to confront. Discover the depths of love, relationships, anxiety, despair and hallucination. For each grim moment in our lives there is a counter of brightness and unfettered happiness. Wonderful World explores the depths of our emotions, whether it is through fear, hallucination, or the purity of innocence so often lost when we need it most. These poems and short stories are lovingly crafted to evoke an emotional response on the subconscious level. One we all share and are content with leaving trapped behind the bars of our own making. Laugh. Cry. Ponder the mysteries of the world as you begin your own, unique journey through introspection and perhaps, just perhaps, come to understand the author as she explores the workings of a world that might not be so wonderful after all.
