This volume represents a series of expressions from a very dark period in my life. I think the hidden feelings that we often keep from those around us serve a very specific purpose in our lives. Some people take these emotional body slams as a series of stepping stones to higher understanding, as lessons for a dev-eloping psyche. Other people go through the gauntlet of life, a wounded caterpillar, later to emerge as a spiritual butterfly. And some people just like the macabre. This is not fluffy bunny hour, so whatever your darker, deeper, more abysmal emotional and psychological needs are, please enjoy the following literary utterances. *This work contains occasions of violence, strong language, and sexual descriptions. May not be suitable for all audiences.
