Uncertainty. Reinvention. The courage to choose yourself.The Cost of Becoming Me is a collection of poems for anyone who has reached a point where the life you were chasing no longer feels like your own. It speaks to the chaos, doubt, and quiet awakening that come with growing up and questioning everything you were told success should look like.These poems trace the journey from certainty to uncertainty, from comfort to risk, and from following expectations to listening to what your heart has been asking for all along. They explore ambition, fear, displacement, heartbreak, and the cost of choosing growth over approval.Written by Patrick Johns and gathered from old flip phones, notebooks, and forgotten files, this collection reflects the emotional shifts of young adulthood and the moments that force you to redefine who you are and what you want.The Cost of Becoming Me is for anyone standing at a crossroads, afraid to take the leap but knowing they cannot stay where they are. Change is uncomfortable. It is terrifying. And it is often the very thing that leads you home to yourself.

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
