    About this ebook

    Self expression has always been an important part of my existence. Early in life, I discovered the beauty of words and the ability to manipulate them to express whatever was crawling inside of me.

    And sometimes, there was no manipulation. Sometimes it was just a steady stream of feeling that begged for liberation. Poetry was simply a cathartic tool I used for release and healing.

    This chapter focuses on some of the issues we tend to encounter in our lives: growing up, making mistakes, learning, loss, self-discovery, and more. I'm sharing because I've found that listening to other people's experiences can often create empathy and give our own experiences some reference.

    So, we all have stories to share. We create them every day throughout the journey of life. These are just a few of mine.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      One of the most profound experiences we may ever have is just to simply breathe.

      Song Unsung

      All that is known as unknown

      Past all eyes that have not seen

      And every future beyond tomorrow

      Is written in the song unsung

      Moving On

      The empty room stared at me.

      Four stripped walls; a darkened closet carved into one of the blank faces.

      Dust, lint, and other elements of time gone by, now lay exposed;

      the only lasting evidence that a bed had once rested there.

      The nakedness of the situation clothed me in memory.

      And I felt a
