    About this ebook

    This is a deeply personal life story and situations that have made me the unique individual I am in life. These short poems touch on many parts of life that are disturbing and are hard to deal with. The only way to express them was to write them down in these poems and hope people would one day read them and experience emotional change for the betterment of their lives
