    About this ebook

    MY LIFE STORY

    I, Chris Jackson, was born paralyzed by polio for the first three years of my life. My insides ill age 10. I watched the other children play while I laid in bed by the window looking outside. I used to hurt on the inside now, I let my hurt out through poetry. The pain never goes away, I feel it everyday. When the feelings are all you have left, you have nothing left to lose. Feelings are the bottom line to your soul. I spoil all children I come into contact with, cause God never gave me one, He gave me plenty.

      I walked in the door, took off my coat, took off my sunglasses, set them down with my keys, took off my shoes and socks, my jeans, my shirt, my bra and underwear, set them all on the chair by the door, walked into the house naked, went to the fridge,

      As I drove slowly towards the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that

      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.
