Lost: A Collection of Poems
By Asekho Toto

About this ebook
This book is my dream. I have always wanted to publish a book, one that includes my thoughts, and experiences. This consists of four chapters, and each chapter focuses on a specific event. Themes such as spirituality and mental health are covered.
Depression is a battle I've fought for years, and suicidal thoughts have been frequent occurrences.
These poems are one of my greatest achievements, and I hope that they touch someone in whichever way. Life is a never-ending journey; ups and downs - but I hope you never stop going.
