The Ballads of Life. Life is a Story - story.one

Book excerpt: This book is a collection of poems written over several years. It's the experience of a young woman growing up. It's about girlhood, joy, love and mainly about all kinds of heartbreaks life can cause. As I learned English, I realized that it's easier for me to express myself in that language. Since then, I have been writing poems- they usually start with just one sentence or even just one word. Sometimes they get lost, but I then always find scribbled paper all over my apartment. I just knew I must put those pieces together and that started my passion for lyrical writing. That and my greatest inspiration and lyrical genius Taylor Swift. She changed my approach to language and words drastically. A depressing, joyful, lyrical ride. That is what this book is. Hoping it will find readers captivated, related, and connected to life.
