The material written in this book began its life form in 2003. The origins of birth are hidden emotions and feelings. Some had been locked inside previously and others purposely hidden or simply unknown. While experiencing some of life's challenges, the time came where these emotions had to be released so that chapters could be closed. The only way to move forward was to face these feelings head on without any fear. In doing so, the author hopes to not only capture your attention, but to give you something that you too might be able to relate to. You will find poems of opinion, philosophy, change, strengths, weaknesses, love, laughter, joy and pain, while all of the poems come from within the author's soul. One of the most important things in life is that we learn from our mistakes. The more we learn, the more opportunities we can create for ourselves. This book gives the reader a chance to see inside the soul of a man; the many thoughts, many dreams, many insights. Many of the writes in this book will leave the reader in deep thought, while others may compel the reader to reread it because they simply liked how it was written or because they can identify with the writer's feelings and emotions. So, the time has now come for you to take a little stroll, "Inside the Soul of Me," where you will meet the writer's heart through poetry and prose.
