These poems are a reflection of my life. I wrote them in order of what I was experiencing. The challenges as well as the easy parts. I didn't want to turn it into a sob story by writing a biography or exaggerate it by turning it into a fiction book. I wanted to be able to tell my stories through poems. I believe that poetry connects with people and brings people together on so many levels. You can interpret poetry in so many different ways and that is one of the many beauties of it. I have always admired poetry and always been in awe of it. There's so many different styles and lengths of poetry that there are no limits. It's the type of storytelling you can get lost in. With that being said, my hope is that by the end of this book, you come away impacted by at least one of these poems no matter how you interpret it.

The purpose of this poetry book is one of defiance. Not to others, or anything in particular. It is against the war we wage internally, against ourselves every day. There is no bigger challenge in life than facing your thoughts, your true emotions, your feelings when you lie alone at night by yourself, cornered. We tend to postpone them, shelf them, as we grow accustomed to our daily activities, never giving ourselves a chance to evaluate ourselves. Who are we? what do we lack? what do we need? In this book, I took it upon myself to air out all of my grievances, my intimate thoughts, my happiness, my disappointments, my sadness all out in the open, for all to see. I wanted to face it all. To stare my mortality dead in the eyes, and let the lingering stare sit, I wanted to simmer the feeling of weakness, of every single type of emotion, completely digest it, and let it manifest genuinely, reading it, again and again, perfecting it, again and again, until the feeling of pain subsides. I there is anything that I want you to take from this book, is time. Yes, just a word, time. It goes by, so have not regrets, and never leave something from saying. If you are looking for a sign to remind you, to tell you parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, grandparents, wives, friends you love them? This is it...
