From the author: Step into the mind of a 17-year-old. The poems were captured during a world of spirituality, dark philosophy, drugs, magic, alcohol, mysticism, and insanity. "I'm 17 and Out of My Mind" was put together after a rapid recovery from a "Dark World" that is buried within every person's own head. The toughest fight in the world is a fight against your own consciousness, your own mind. The terror, the screams, the love, the thrill, the journey, the healing, and the mystery are all captured in these 100 poems.
