Ces poèmes, écrits entre l'adolescence et la jeune vie d'adulte de l'auteur, sont le reflet d'un être parfois ambivalent qui exprime ses émotions, sentiments, souffrances et rêves pour renforcer sa volonté de vivre. Dans ce recueil, qui est une métaphore de sa propre vie, les vers et les rimes servent à dénoncer des injustices, à raconter des expériences vécues ou à s'évader dans un imaginaire empreint d'intimité.
