Foreword

I was shocked to find truth in this young man's words and quotes he himself wrote. He also is a bit of a nature lover, and I think many will find that part interesting, especially with all the references. When I asked Zxayveon what he believed as a creator, he said, I am a creator as I am human, and these words flow through my soul as my emotions through my heart. These poems, songs, sonnets, etc. are one of the most important parts of me, and creating is me freeing my soul. My ambition and passion to create a story or an idea that requires more than myself—because it takes a lot of work to bring something into fruition, I think—is the most interesting piece of creation.

I pondered the young author's response and asked, What do you mean by ‘interesting piece'?

He said, "I am a creator and an artist in my own right. I don't try to stay in one avenue of the arts. If I can do a little something, then I have the potential to make it grow into something. Back to the question. The reason I say interesting piece is because I'd rather have people pay to watch or read something that is good, something they'll remember, something relatable, and every other surprising turn they can enjoy. I want them to enjoy it as much as I and whoever else enjoyed creating it because every story starts with an idea."

I think I've never met a more vivid yet calm author such as yourself. I pray many look at your artistry of words and thank you.

Little Me

Hey, little me,

I know it's hard to recognize me

But it's the older you speaking to you

I'm here to deliver a message

It starts like this, little me

It was never easy, being angry

And hurting, trying, loving, and laughing

The pain was too much, many emotions

Were evoked but unreleased

Tears that never sprung up in the well,

Pressurized into concrete

The happiness we felt, taken over by apathy

The silence of being on the path alone

Acknowledging that we need help when seeping into the

Ocean's pain

Living broken dreams, rather harsh to say they

Were mean

Little me, you've grown so much into a

Version you will respect

I mean, it's not the best version, but it's a version

To be proud of

You have become something that you could not

Fathom, and you have one of the exotics—creative, infinite

Imagination

The light you thought was dim was always brighter

Than you thought, it even shined brighter than the sun

Your smile came with a cost, you would

Rather do that than mope around and feel lost

You learned to love, you learned to hurt

You have morals, you have value

You are wise, you are bold

You are human, you are good

What do you do now, older me?

I mean, honestly, little me, I've been straight chilling

Joined the army and went international

We write songs, raps, poems, etc.

That's nice to know, did you leave?

Yeah, I left, you don't have to worry anymore

I got us if no one else does, you can rest now and

Dream the sweet
