The inspiration for the creation of this comes from my real-life experiences, both personal and indirectly, and it is my sincerest hope that the reader will find something noteworthy within the pages that will inspire, aspire, or simply a supportive point of view. This book does not intend to shape anyone's personal perspective but was written as a self-examination on my part expressed in the form of poetry and was written with the intent of reaching the reader where they are at and offer readers a glimpse into the mindset of the author.
