The Man Above The Boy Within is but only a collection of pieces about how messed up of a personality I am, not depressed all the time but not happy all the days,
These chapters were stringed together over a couple of weeks, during times I felt as such. They are my sublime truths scribbled in a goring work of art( as I seem to call it so).Being as socially awkward as I am, this is the best way to communicate my mood with people and thus my writings is of some sort, my mouth piece and yes these writings are scary sometimes but they are also my means of coping, jotting down my fears and feelings, my moods and my wishes, my predicament, a better way than hiding under sheets(sometimes I choose that), or resort to coping in a harmful way.
Sometimes people tell me I write like I am in their shoes (they relate perfectly in a screwed up way). Hiding my tears in my words, I lighten up that of others, in other scenarios, I read my own pieces and realize I wrote this, not for me, but for another person somewhere going through the exact same thing, battling with issues others can not comprehend.
Each part of the collection has a specific story it tells, every piece has a link to each other and in unison they talk about me (finally admitting it today). However, some are overly exaggerated (probably for aesthetics), and some are quite sensitive, but in all they sum me up, yeah!
My ridiculous self, hurting beyond smiles (The Broken Boy) but also living through a facade of distended moods and memories (The illusion) and facing all of them head on, day by day, not giving up (The Brave Knight) hoping to one day wipe away all the charade of battles and fears (A man on a Quest), and when I successfully accomplish it, nothing can break my spirit or stride (Invincible).
Thus the story for these pieces I've strung together, and if you are in a similar situation, don't give up, we'd make it to the finish line even if in a ramshackle.
Thank you all for reading my work, I hope you enjoyed my work, I appreciate your comments and votes.
