    About this ebook

    Breaking the Cycle is a series of fictional poems and short stories derived from true accounts of tragedy, loss and pain combined with stories of finding inner strength and conquering adversity. Breaking the Cycle graphically addresses issues of abuse, substance abuse, heart break, death and conversely love, hope, strength, spiritual and emotional growth. Breaking the Cycle will give perspective to individuals who do not understand the plight of people growing up in impoverished communities and will give a constructive voice to those who identify but do not have an outlet to express their story. All of this in hopes of one day completely Breaking the Cycle of poverty.

      About The Author

      This book is dedicated to my Mom and Roscoe, thank you for taking this journey with me.

      I am forever indebted to you both.

      I love you always!

      Introduction

      It was constantly made apparent to me that I had to grow up and mature at a rate faster than the other students I was around. When I went home after school, there was no one there because my mother was working to make sure we had enough to get by. Through this, she always made it a point to tell me the truth about life and the world surrounding me. Some of these truths may have been inappropriate for a young man’s mind, but my mother was adamant that I understand the world and my place in it. This prepared me for the many obstacles I would face growing up. Although, at a young age, I was placed with such a strong burden, I am
