Poetry that makes love to your soul. This book is a collection of poems, largely based on life experiences and a small percentage from experiences that friends and family have had. I experienced living on the wrong side of the tracks until my mid-twenties, eventually getting it correct and becoming a resident on the right side of the tracks until present day. A large portion of my poetry ventures into the dark side of life; jail, homelessness, addiction, racism, teen pregnancy, adultery but also dealing with some brighter sides of life including God, love, marriage, and children. If you can see your chest go up and down with every breath and if you can put the palm of your hand on your chest to feel your heart beat then you are alive and a resident of life which means that there is definitely something in here for you. Hopefully it will be something you want to hear, but sometimes it may be something you need to hear. I hope you enjoy this journey with me.
