In Totality was born from the rough sketches and clumsy wordsmithing of an enthusiastic young author. Although only a sophomore in high school at the point of In Totality's compilation, he had already experienced true love and heartbreak, the highs and lows of a career, and the beginnings of adulthood. While pieces like "Happiness" and "Metaphor" reflect the influence of scholarly study of the art of poetry, others like "Knowing You're Gone" and  "Fall Roses" offer an insight into the expression of raw emotion and working through seasons of life.
