It is my sincere hope that the poems contained in this book bring healing and encouragement to your life. May they help destroy the circumstances that hold you captive daily and prevent you from becoming the unique person God has created you to be, while also helping you forgive the previous generations who inflicted scars upon your life. May the Lord grant you the power of honesty to free yourself from these weights attached to your soul. I can assure you, freedom awaits to embrace you.

I, too, was once a victim.
