Confessions from The Life

About the Book

“Confessions from The Life: Poetic Cry” is a “collection of reality.” Each piece will take you into the inner depths of the thoughts, experiences, hurts, and consequences of succumbing to the pressures of this present world. Filled with piercing honesty and flawless imagery, this collection is a reflection of the Christian’s heart. “I started writing these poems a few years ago. I was going through so much hurt at the time. I was a young woman, new and zealous in the faith, but I was also in a verbally, spiritually, and sexually abusive relationship” says Tekasheena. “At times when I was too weak to pray, when my tears were all cried out…..all I had were words that needed to be written.” However, this collection is not just written of sorrows, but of faith, hope, wisdom, redemption and triumph. Though some of the poems are written from a woman’s (Tekasheena) perspective, it speaks pass gender, religion, culture, and creed. “All I want for this book is that by the last page, the reader realized that there is a rainbow after every storm. That rainbow is God’s word and promises that will never die.” No matter the circumstance, test, trial, ethnicity or culture of the reader, this book speaks a universal language. The language of faith, the language of redemption…..the language of poetry.
