"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I remember the first time I heard one of your songs. It was Come As You Are, which is played on the radio constantly. I remember listening to the lyrics, and hearing the emotions. I think I said something like “how have I never heard this before” and my mom said that I had. I realized that I had heard it, but I didn’t listen until that day. The minute I got home, I looked up so many of your songs. You sounded like you were trying to fight your demons thru every lyric, and I loved that.
In some ways I feel like you, cause I put on a great show for others while I wrestle my demons.
Sometimes I get mad cause you killed yourself. It seems like you gave up, and you had so much to live for. But then I have my bad days, and I feel what you must have gone thru. My demons get to tough for me, too scary, and I wonder if that’s why you did it, cause your demons got too scary.
