Hidden Emotions is a creative and expressive poetic book for those who may be looking for something to relate to in the areas of love, life, God, and family life. As humans, we experienced situations in life. We may want or have fallen in love and have struggled with having faith in God or probably have someone that hears us so badly that is difficult to find peace in ourselves. These are poems that people can relate to and show them that they are not alone with how they feel or what they have experienced. This book displays emotions that are normally hidden, with themes that can relate to many people, such as loneliness, insecurities, introspection, solitude, misinterpretation, awareness, love, desperation, sadness, depression, abandonment, forgiveness, darkness, passion, delusion, and more. AUTHOR INTRODUCTIONExperience my deepest emotions, the ones that hide from the general eyes, and are expressed as spoken words in the form of rhythmic and arrhythmic verses that create poetry. Know my secret feelings. The ones that are difficult to talk about. The ones with life on their own that one day make my heart race, brought me into tears, and keep my mind busy until I was able to let them be born as musical words that spoke for themselves, revealing my story, undressing my feelings, expressing my thought, bringing to these pages word by word my hidden emotions. Journey through my book as I transform negative emotions into art, and paint fictional affairs that reveal the real me, the one who lives inside.
