Dear Reader, these poems are an introduction to the passionate words of some of the English language's most renowned poets. Inspired by today's greatest lyricist, Taylor Swift, this collection overflows with folklore, love, heartache, revenge and peace - the perfect balm for any tortured soul. Featuring poems by William Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll and many more, this moody and melancholy anthology celebrates the most famous - and tortured - poets. WARNING: These poems might make you cry!
To the reader: These poems were comprised out of much pain, suffering, mistakes, failures, bad choices keeping bad company, foolishness, ignorance, emptiness of spirit, frustration, self deprivation and some pleasure. Not to say that my suffering was any more significant than any others but in my time and in my place it seemed to be so. Self analysis is a vulnerable thing, one writes their feelings down in an effort to find vindication, or to try to come up with words that best describe how they feel. You write something down but you find that that's not it, you write a little more and again the words you find doesn't best explain how you feel. Then you dig a little deeper and you finally are able to adequately write down your feelings in words. And after finding out what's wrong with you, you ask yourself this question, do I really want people to read this about me? Peeling away the layers of your own soul can be quite humbling so at the risk of being transparent I would hope that the reader can extract some insight, inspiration, empathy and maybe even a little encouragement.
Since the beginning of time; sometimes some peoples chose to write about their life experiences. In these works, I have just done that but in a form of Poetry because Love is the Stranger. Who disagrees should go on and write their version of stories about me, is their prerogative! I have been discredited by those strangers that think that they hold the powers, but I have stated the facts of the matters. The things that I heard them say about my daughter and me, but I do not possess the powers to rectify the mistakes; that have been made! As we lead our lives, we all make mistakes daily; because we are all humans and we are all fallible. Due to all that have gone on, so many times I cried myself to bed. In my darkest hours; I was consoled by my Wonderful Daughter! Instead of being the Child, She grew up faster and became the shoulders to cry on and so; I dedicate the entirety of these works to my late daughter's foundation; "FOUNDATION IN MEMORIES OF ADA-EMILA RUTH VALMORI Bsc.Hons" "BECAUSE THESE HONOURS ARE YOURS AND MUST REMAIN YOURS ALONE TILL THE END OF TIME"! To her Father; the Kindest Man truly with a heart of gold, the kindest Man on Earth of whom without; I probably would not have been here today. The Man who brought up his Stepson with the Kindest Heart as he would bring up His Own Natural Child, and To My Grandson! To another Man, a wonderful Person of whom without; we would have been homeless for much longer than necessary! He who saw that wrong was done and asked that things should be put right! To those freedom fighters of yester years, and those of today! To they who fight for the rights of the weak due to injustices in our World. To All the Descendants of Immigrants the World Over, those from the beginning of time, since Humankind, because they were the courageous pioneers; who set the pace that some of us followed! To those who have travelled abroad to cure their Child. To those that believe in Fairness and those who believe in Kindness. To those who believe in Love. To the Just Women and the Just Men of This Our Great Universe! R. I. IYEMERE.

Tortured Soul is a collection of poetry from the childhood experiences of Mach Person. Many of which were written during her youth. In the first volume of Tortured Soul, Mach's poetry covers experiences of loss, abuse, violence, and sex. Through the art of the written word, she was able to express and briefly expel the feelings and emotions that came with some of these traumatic events. Now, nearly fifteen years later and compelled to share her experience, Mach hopes that her words will reach others. Through others, she hopes to answer questions she has longed to answer for herself. "Am I this way because of these encounters? Or am I this way because this is who I am meant to be? How can we be sure that our encounters and experiences are what makes us? Is it not our soul that makes us who we are? Not our experiences?
