The pain has always been there since I can remember. From the first time I got picked on by the people I love till now when sometimes I feel like I'm not enough, the pain doesn't feel less and so there has always been a struggle just to be enough, not just for myself but for everyone else-to live up to their expectations.
And with the urge to live up to everyone 's expectations came the pain. I struggled deep to come out of that boat but while I was still in that boat, I tried to find an escape. Music, writing and smiling was my escapism.
These poems were written most time during my darkest times and I'm out of that boat now. These poems were my therapy and I hope they mean so much to you like they mean to me. Thank you.

Life experiences
I've been through my own struggle, whether it was created in my head by way of prolonged sadness or bitterness/resentment, or if I was struggling with things I had no control over like failed friendships, a broken heart, or family drama. This is my advice to you based off of my life experiences. Along with pieces of life experience advice I've included poetry and spoken word pieces from different perspectives and I try to break down life into beautiful words that people can relate to and see that we all struggle- you're not alone and we are each so valuable.Complete

The heart that cried wolf
~ This book contains several write ups like the one below ~ I use to think that whatever you put into the universe would always come back to you, just like a boomerang, but not all boomerangs return to their throwers, I've played the role of putting others before myself, I've played the role of a good husband, a good wife, a truthful friend, an honest person, your person, And none of it was ever enough, I wished it was but for you I don't think it ever will, So I think it's time I played a new role, one where I don't throw boomerangs into the universe and hope they'll return.Complete
