The Lone Ranger and Other Poems [COMPLETED]

Prologue

Hello there! First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this book. I started writing poems about a year ago and my main objective was to help a very special friend of mine to go through life in general. At that time, I wanted to help my friend to be able to feel better and somehow I managed to incorporate what I was feeling (as well as my friend's feeling) into a poem and thus the beginning of my poetry journey. I find poetry writing to be very interesting as not only sometimes you find yourself writing a free verse poem but also sometimes you can find yourself writing a song and/or rap lyrics instead which is why I love writing poems so much. Through poetry writing, I am able to express myself to a whole other level that I never was able to do so. Words seem to be able to define how I am feeling which resonates with me just like how a song would. It surely did help me go through a lot of tough times in life and I guess poetry writing is my method to 'Shake It Off' (if you are wondering yes I am a big fan of Taylor Swift and yes there will be some Tay Tay references because why not). Of course the journey in writing a good and some what moderate poems could not and would not happen without the suggestions, advice and criticisms from my closest friends. A very special thanks to them for helping and supporting me in commencing my poetry journey. I am also thankful to be able to have this modern platform to express my feelings and thoughts into works of an art. In this book, I do mention about some heavy stuff which is the reality of life such as insecurities, inequalities, suicide thoughts, failures, depression, doubts towards your own self etc. I just want you to know that if you are or ever going through such feelings just know that you are not alone. Find ways to express your feelings like music, poetry, talking to someone you trust etc. True, sometimes life gets the best of us but you should know that you should not let life control you but rather you should control your own life itself. Just remember to always 'Love Yourself First' !!! I'm sure you will be in a happier state of mind by doing so :) There will also be some happy light stuff to read as well especially towards the second half of the book. Anyways, once again thank you for reading this 13-poem book of poetry entitled The Lone Ranger and Other Poems and do give me feedbacks so I can improve myself in the future. Just treat yourself to a nice cup of drink, sit back and relax. Hopefully you are able to enjoy this book as much as how I enjoyed writing it. Have a nice day! :)

Regards,
Aren
