“Side Effects”, is a collection of poetry that I put together back in the early 2000’s. It consists of works from the age of 14-15 until my mid 20’s, though the majority is from the early part of my adolescence. The works span from 1994-95 until around 2000. It is the first collection I ever put together, though the formal “collection” was formalized by my younger sister, who has always encouraged my writing.
