This poetry book I am presenting to you is not just about my life. It's about your life. It's about things we all go through. Sometimes in our heads, sometimes in the real world.

RYPoetry

Born in Ukraine, RYPoetry moved to the US with his parents when he was just 3 years old and spent most of his life in Seattle, Washington. Since childhood, he was always obsessed with music, especially rap music. He just loved the storytelling part and what he calls "the challenge of rhyming." It was also a great way to express his thoughts and feelings without talking to other people, but rather putting them in lyric lines and creating poetry. While the majority of his adult life he spent in a workforce, working for inventory/customer service-based organizations and companies, he was never truly satisfied and fulfilled with his role and wanted something more, something that's closer to his heart, nature, and true passion of life, which was poetry. In fact, that's also how his debut poetry book "Through My Eyes" came up. With a purpose to serve other people, he wanted to create something that would help others find joy and love in life, music, and meaningful words for him and other people. Every single poem represents an idea and a certain mindset people may be going through and helps them not feel alone but rather discover life's true joy and purpose. RYPoetry loves to spend time with his beautiful wife and other family members who like to get together and enjoy each other's company during his leisure time. Family is also one of the most important parts of his life. They are very close and support each other every step of the way. He also enjoys long walks outside where he is all by himself and listens to music that inspires him to create more and gives him ideas for creating another story that would resonate and inspire his readers and listeners. He strongly believes that people who know the right words and realize the importance of their life stories are the ones who will resonate with his work most. He also believes in mentorship and sees his work as a way to help others learn from the mistakes and experiences of other people instead of their own and discover their life paths. RYPoetry plans to write many more books to help and serve people worldwide who want to discover the meaning of life, learn from their mistakes, and strive to become the best versions of themselves. I hope you'll enjoy his amazing content and use it to make your life so much better!

Never Too Late

The bills piled up in several stacks

All the credit cards used to the max

Income less than what is being spent

Coming up three months behind the house payment

Driver’s license in the process of being suspended

Receiving checks from unemployment just ended

Leaving no spare cash to pay that court fee

Maybe it’s time to file for bankruptcy

The banks force you out of your house

Taking everything, even your spouse

Who just couldn’t take anymore

And walked right out the front door

It seems there’s no reason for you to live on

Because everything you worked for is now gone

This is the price you pay for living your life recklessly

Now don’t you wish you lived your life more responsibly?

Just remember it’s never too late to turn your life around

You’ve only messed up the first round

This doesn’t mean you have to in round two

Just pick a better life you would like to pursue

And switch your life’s pace to slow

So you don’t have to hit a new all-time low

Be smart with all the new decisions you make

To keep from making the same big mistake

Then finally, all of life’s wonders will be yours to embrace

Like they say, slow and steady wins the race

King of the Ring

Two men dancing in a ring

Waiting for one to throw that first swing

Looking each other dead in the eye

Trying to figure out whose act is but
