    About this ebook

    Just a Boy Blaming Himself is a collection of poetry about life, love, and loss as told through the lens of a 20 something. It is a work that is the culmination of over five years of writing whenever inspiration would flash. These poems have been a place of solace for me and I sincerely hope they leave a lasting impression on all those who read

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Foreward

      I've known Daniel since he was six. We have been kayaking and going to the movies often, since that time. What I am trying to say is, I've known him for a long time. Daniel speaks from his heart, almost to a fault. His book of poems speaks mostly from the sad places in his heart. Some of these poems are raw, a bit edgy and may seem harsh at times. This acknowledges his vulnerability.

      Being a psychotherapist, I often want my patients to journal; to write down how they feel. I use this to help them with self-awareness. Daniel has much self-awareness and as Dorothy Parker stated, Art is a form of catharsis. I feel that Daniel, through his poetry, has been able to bring across what a lot of us actually feel. When reading this book of poems, one gets to see a part of Daniel not many are allowed to see.

      --David Quade LCSW-C

      Thank you to all of those who listened to my musings on late night texts. Thank you to everyone who ever said that I had any semblance for writing. Thank you to anyone who inspired me good or bad to put these feelings down on paper.

      Most of all thank you for picking this book up today and taking even a slight moment to read my silly poems.

      Trim

      Tonight, I saw these pieces of trim on the wall

      And I had to tear them down

      I saw the kindness you had put into them

      Fixing them up

      Painting them pretty

      But I knew it was all a lie
