Tears in a Suitcase, is a collection of poems about life experiences most people are afraid to talk about. We are often so afraid of own life experiences that we make a habit of trying to run away from ourselves and we pretend that bad things only happen to other people, not us. Not me. What we do or do not do about what happens to us becomes us. A tear is a life story yet to be told. Tears are expressions of ourselves that we often choose to never put into words.
