Written by 14 year old William Shi, a piece of life is a heartfelt collection of poems about growing up. This book goes through healing, heartbreak, unrequited love, and the quiet love and pain of drifting away from friends. These poems are deep, emotional, and especially real . Each poem is a reflection of my days and my life. It has dates on top and some motivational quotes I learned during the process of life. This book is filled with long and short, deep poems, but still they are all connected to me. If you are holding the book, I hope you’ll find a line that cuts deep for you. This is not just poetry, this is my life . This is a journey poetry book, which means that the poems do not follow one specific mood or topic but in sequential order of when I wrote them. One might be happy, the next might be sad. It's like life, messy, real, and always changing.
