Emotions are sometimes as hard to deal with as the experience itself. Catharsis is one man's attempt to deal with the powerful emotions felt during the brightest and the darkest days of life. Catharsis is the record of the experiences that shaped him in his younger years, and made him the man he came to be. The author's emoting in poetic style are intended to aid the reader to find their own freedom from the past and joy in daily life.
