ABOUT THE BOOK These poems were written out of necessity. I came to a point in my life where I asked myself who I really was, but I didn't have an answer. I had very hard questions about my courage, integrity, self worth, and especially my direction in life. I have accumulated so many experiences in my short life that sometimes I feel like an old man. The truth is, these experiences had molded me into someone with knowledge and just a hint of wisdom. So I wrote everything down, every emotion I felt coupled with every memory and every thought that provoked words from my mouth. The hardest thing to do is express the truth, especially if it is not pleasant.
