Book preview

For all of those who have stood by me. You know who you are. And for my family. I love you.

Part 1

Unraveling

––––––––

I bleed on these pages and paint a masterpiece with my

vulnerability.

Unfiltered.

Raw.

For you benefit and mine.

Sabotage

We all spell sabotage differently.

You spell it with my name in your mouth.

And you so nonchalantly replace the truth with your colorful lies.

My own memory playing tricks on my mind.

How do you do that so effortlessly?

You are so careless with my life as you set fire to everything I have left.

But none the less,

I do have one last request.

After you burn me to the ground and inevitably play your most mastered role, the victim,

pray for me,

then pray for your safety.

Poison

You are like Christmas clutter.

Excess.

Too much.

Red Rose

She is angry as a rose,

graceful and seductive.

But the thorns are not misleading.

If you choose to take advantage of her simplicity,

she walks away with her integrity.

And you, well,

you remain pointless.
