Autodidact and I Dare to Be Different

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and relax your body and soul. Poetry is not only a means to elevate your spirit but a way to broaden your realm of thinking. Contained in this book you will find one man's interpretation of the world and how he has chosen to adapt his life to whatever obstacles are set before him. There will be poems that will move you to tears, while others may offend the very essence of your character but have no fear for at the end of the book you will find that you are much more enlightened as a result. Inspired by the life experiences of the poet, you will be able to understand first hand what it was like growing up in a poor urban neighborhood with nothing more than a dream to keep you warm. You will see that motivation can be found in many forms and even in unexpected places. The darkest, most bitter life experiences can be inspirational and the innocence of a child can turn your darkest night into sunshine that warms your body from head to toe. All it takes is a little Faith!
