It’s about the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and the power of art to create change.
Melting's poems express humanity's raw emotion. A chapter each is dedicated to heartbreak, struggle and hope. This had been written over two decades of happiness and despair and uses both prose and verse to take you on a journey, challenging you to deeply connect with your inner emotions. Chapter 1 - Splintered When bad things happen or we lose someone, it begin to weigh on us. Our emotional being doesn't feel whole anymore. The depth of pain and hurt we feel when this happens can be debilitating and may be extremely difficult to overcome. This chapter shows that we all share the same feelings and the only way to truly get through this is to acknowledge these feelings. Only then can we begin to heal. Chapter 2 - Struggle The worst possible thing we can do is to measure our lives in comparison to what others are expecting. And yet, we do this all the time. This struggle begins in our heads and progresses to our hearts and bodies. This toll eventually weighs on our souls. This chapter is about survival and these poems exemplifies what we all have gone through, helping us to relate to others. Chapter 3 - Rise To overcome adversity, you must be connected with something of meaning. To do this, you must truly know yourself and what will make you happy. You must want to sit with this and mull it over until you discover the essence of your being. Some may find the answer pretty quickly. Others may never get the answer. But it's this exploration, this journey that defines us and this last chapter helps you discover your meaning and what you love.
