My Life My Struggle My Success (ePub)

This book is a collection of poems written over the span of several years, including my time at a group home and a juvenile detention center. The contents are meant to, as the title suggests, tell my story, describe my struggle through mental and physical health problems, and be a starting point for my eventual and overall success in life.

Feeling physically stuck due to health problems, weighed down from the expectations of others, battles with faith, and the simple consistency of the question why--these are all things I may encounter in a single day. It is also meant to show others struggling with depression, anger, trauma, or any sort of mental health difficulties know that they are not alone, that whatever they are going through can be overcome, and that regardless of their struggles, they all have potential for success.

This book and the poems within show a broad range of emotions that I have personally experienced throughout my life. These emotions range from despair, numbness, depression, anxiety, anger, and fear, to love and joy. This book encompasses my struggles as a person and my view on the world and the things in it. I believe this book has the potential to save and change lives, as well as to be the starting point for change and positivity in my life and yours. Fulton Books and my family have both given me a chance to tell my story to the world. Now it's time that I must ask, will you?
