    About this ebook

    When we look back

    I hope it's from a nostalgic view

    Thankful that I'm blessed

    To have found you

    Among everything and everyone

    If I am the moon

    Then you are the sun

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      Death came and I wasn’t ready, let me circle back and build a legacy…

      Prologue

      2 years have passed

      Since the last book

      As I finally take off this mask

      I’m eager for you all to take a look

      Witness my pain

      Witness my growth

      As the world bellowed out for change

      I lowered my head and wrote

      Stories of tribulations

      And how I had come so far

      Left Malton, Toronto, and wish-filled conversations

      Set out on my own journey because I’m a star

      Shining bright amongst the darkness

      Coveted by so many around me

      If I left them behind, I’d be heartless

      So I stretch back a hand eagerly

      Thankful for the love

      In the form of everything done

      This book is for those looking from above

      If I’m the seed, then they are the sun

      Syrup

      Foundation solidified amongst the chaos and discontent, riding on cloud 9 yet I still fall back into the cement…

      Collateral Damage

      Can’t help, but stare around in disbelief…

      Mind over matter, but that shit hit different

      When it’s just down the street

      My heart sinks to think

      It doesn’t matter whether

      It’s your fault or not

      Shots rang out

      With the sole

      Enjoying the preview?
