Those who dream

For You:
This is my story. It is not meant for everyone as my journey was quite extreme. I wanted to share my story because I understand what it feels like to be the only person in the universe. Maybe you can relate to parts of my journey and find solace that others feel like you. For me, comfort came in the form of leather-bound collections of blank pages, pens, and old poetry books from unknown poets. My written words gave me the ability to breathe and feel purposeful for the first time in my life.
I wanted to share some of my most personal poems with anybody who needs an ounce of inspiration or motivation to keep battling whatever it is that it keeping them down.
I need you, the reader, the dreamer, to keep fighting whatever it is that is keeping you from being a happy individual. I am hoping that you will read the entire book and give it a chance. Remember to look everywhere that you can for inspiration and motivation to keep living. Try to start every day with a fresh mindset and one of these days, you will discover happiness and pure joy. You can thrive in this world and you can discover a life that you truly love living. Your friend,
Zack Chambers
