A Collection About The Life and Death of Popularity: Popular, Mean Kid, Walls Falling 

This collection is an emotional rollercoaster. It is not sex specific so a girl or a boy may perform it but it deals with the challenges of life as a teenager, wanting to be popular, being bullied, being a bully and how that person sees life and sees themselves and finally, the inner fight that a teenager goes through when they are fighting the urge to hurt themselves going from kindergarten through the last moments of their life with a razor in hand. The reflection within this collection of poems challenges us to look at ourselves as well as the world around us and actually see what is right in front of us. Be the person that sees the person that is struggling, makes a point to connect with them do not just turn the page because these people exist in our everyday life and they need someone on their side.
