REDEMPTION
By Seanka Lariska Gounden
Redemption reflects the battles the author fought in overcoming devastating situations. It is her journey about rising above the odds. In life, how many times have you striven for redemption. Every person has to learn to surpass the difficult moments and decisions in order to improve mentally and physically. In a world where race, beliefs, religion, and values differ from on individual to the next, the only element on which individuals can rely is the genuine feeling of wanting salvation. Every person, regardless of their background or limitation can relate to that longing and desire to redeem their mistakes or shortcomings and come to terms with their choices and decisions. This collection of poems is not written about any specific person. They consist of literal and figurative stories that are up for the reader to interpret. These poems go from the ones from the earliest to the most recent. This format leads the reader to immerse in the poets’ character development and relate to the themes the poems express. Welcome to the stories of love, depression, loss, heartbreak, and redemption.”
