This is a book of poems based on my life experiences. The poems tell about the good, bad, and in-between times. Some of the poems will make you cry or make you sad; some will make you smile and others will make you laugh and inspire you. This book was written to save lives and give strength to those who have undergone pain on a level not easily explained. Hold on, my friend. It does get better. I especially want to give thanks to GOD for granting me the strength to endure the inhumane living conditions, tragedies, and relationship failures, along with every other thing that undoubtedly brought sorrow upon my being. I want to tell my mother and my kids that I love them so very much and that I’m swearing to make everything right again once I’m in possession of my own actions and freedom.
