Guess who's back and better than ever?! (not) 

Sobriety is such a misunderstood concept, and it wasn't until it became a central part of my life did I truly understand just how complex and misunderstood it has been. Alcoholism and substance abuse do not represent a particular environment that one was raised in, nor is it something that "dumb teens" get into just to look cool (well some do, but that's definitely not what this is collection is about). 

When you hold so much pain and trauma from your personal experiences, sometimes these substances are the only form of support that you have. I mean, it takes away the pain and the bad memories so why not? It's not some angsty teen shit, I'm a fucking survivor. Maybe one day I'll write about these experiences, but even I think its to graphic to comfortably express. And I know that some people have also been in scary, twisted and traumatising situations as well which lead to substance dependency and abuse. 

Sobriety is a journey. There will be highs and lows, periods where you are so heavily reliant on drugs and periods where you are able to stay away from it. There's no shame in relapse. It takes so much fucking strength so if you are going through it as well, I am so damn proud of you. 

DISCLAIMER: This is not a cry for help. Poetry is my therapy, and I can only reflect once I read over the word vomit that I spew from my fucked up brain. If you are contemplating life or starting to use drugs, please seek help. I'm here to give those who are going through something similar a calming voice that tells them they aren't alone. I'm in NO way condoning this behaviour.

Enjoy, and have a blessed day.

Life's Lonely Road (A Poetry Collection) by NickMasters1983
41 parts Complete
LIFES LONELY ROAD A Poetry Collection Each poem in "Life's Lonely Road" has it's own unique theme based on one of life's many lessons that we all come to learn through our many experiences and dealings. I try my best to capture these in a creative way that is melodious and entertaining while staying true to the fashion of poetry and it's rhythmic nature, During the day were confronted with one situation after another, but sadly there are very few people that delve beneath the surface in search for a rhyme or a reason such things happen, but for those of us few that do, we are presented with an unimaginable insight and understand to lifes inner workings, a perspective that very few people are able to see, disect, and understand as it pertains to life in general let alone their own. In "Life's Lonely Road" I not only analyze all the going on around me but in doing so I do my best to capture this in the form of a poem. All the poems I write reflect either myself and a part of my life, or that of the select few that I hold in high esteem, those comprising my inner circle, my family and friends and what one or all of us have endured or are enduring, things that many of you have endured as well, or will come to face at some given point in life. I hope that this book may serve as a guide along your journey and that by using the knowledge afforded you here you won't make the sames mistakes as all those before you, and better yet that you wont have to travel "Life's Lonely Road" on your own as we now face it together! Thank You for your added support, Nick Masters

𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚎 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜 is an ongoing book and collection of poems and sonnets made by me, inspired by my thoughts, dreams, and personal experiences. As someone who lives with depression and anxiety, a lot of my thoughts are bound to not be very pleasant. But hey, some of them are quite philosophical and positive. But that's rare. Join me on my journey through sadness, happiness, curiosity, mystery, and so much more. I was inspired to make a collection of my poems, and I decided to just do it. Also, you should know that I will try to crack jokes or be funny in my serious poems. It's just how I am. Another thing, I do enjoy making things rhyme. Btw, some poems are going to be much better than others. My brain just works strangely. I also really hope my writing doesn't offend anyone. If it does, I do deeply apologize. I'm mainly just doing this all for myself. Just wanna get all my words saved somewhere. If my humor or anything else offends you, I am deeply sorry for that. Sometimes I just have no clue what I'm saying. I just type what's in my mind. Ps, this is not a cry for help. I'm doing fine, but I have dark thoughts. I can't help it. And to the person who a lot of these poems are based on, I am genuinely sorry. I never wish to write this type of stuff about anyone. This is just how I'm dealing with the pain you caused me. I know you'll never see this, but still. I hate being so hateful. That was always your thing.

Words are sharper than knife they say. Yes it is true. Some perfectly moulded good words can both make and break a heart easily. A poem is a group of such perfectly moulded words given wings to fly. They fly through the mind and heart easily. A hobby is an activity we do to express ourselves, our beliefs and our thinking. For example through drawing, dancing, singing, etcetera. Writing a poem is one of such hobbies. Here words are used. These words and messages are far more twisted. A poem hits the mind, a good poem hits the heart. Thoughts Of A Juvenile is just a collection of my poems.I started writing poems when I was 8. I may not be a great writer. But yeah I write to express. There have been times for me like many other teenagers where I thought I was lost and helpless. There have been good times too. I'm standing on the edge of teenage now, telling you that you can survive this. You can survive everything. All you need is to find your strengths. There are sad nights and then there are mornings full of opportunities. Don't give up. I'm here and I'll always be here. Whenever you feel down just remind yourself "Be stupid". Go out in public and the eat the food you like alone, ask out your crush, flirt like there's no one watching, dance like a ghost has possessed your body, prank people, have a little chat with the nerds you know. Surviving is an art not many can master. Be a Master. There are mistakes in this book and I tried my best to correct them. But couldn't correct them all. I would really love to receive reviews and criticism. Vote if you like it. Comment your views. And follow for more poems. Add it to your reading list or library.

Words of life

This book is for you, who wants to read about what life can be like, most of the times. This book has reminders, poetry, tips and tricks, quotes, texts about meaning with life, happy moment and even sad moments. A little bit of everything life can throw at you. I have no filter to this book. Which means it's raw and genuine, and that is the goal. (You don't necessarily have to read from start to finish) If you for an example have a bad day, I have a chapter for you about seeing it thru a different perspective than what people normally tell you. Or if you feel like you want to know what happiness is or feels like, I have different definition of that in different chapters for you my dear! (And many more chapters, about everything you could think of) And maybe you know all of this already, and it glads me to hear. But give it a chance and maybe you'll find new ways to Incorporate it in your daily life. Or let it just be reminders for yourself. What ever works for you, love! - A.M🍷
