Roses are Read is an eclectic collection of poems that express the struggles and stages of teenage existence. From first kiss to first heartbreak, awkward moments to awkward stages, and broken lies to broken cries, Roses are Read illustrates what average (and not so average) teenagers experience every day and after. No one will understand the ups and downs of struggling to balance school, friendship, young love, disappointment, and learn to recognize yourself better than a teen. Get lost within the sad, twisted, and perplexed mind of a lovestruck adolescent trying to figure out what helps the heart beat and stops it from bleeding.
