Within these pages is an introspective expose on the thoughts that strangle the mind of a young poet, in a world that is trying so hard to stray from the truth. This compilation of poetry and illustrations was pieced together to demonstrate that we are not alone in our struggle for balance. Moreover, to spread a sense of urgency for us to save the Earth by preserving ourselves, and to show the inner battles that led up to the author deciding to live a life parallel to society. This publication is in itself, the author's means of travel in his attempt to dispel clarity, by shedding light on our true state of self and its influences. It will be brought to open mics, open corners, open living rooms; open arms, minds, and eyes the world over as part of the awakening of an era forthcoming."
