This book is a collection of poems I created to instill a sense of optimism and motivation in other people. In this book, I describe my story of overcoming adversity, including incarceration, homelessness, addiction, assault, and many more challenges to achieving success. The grace and love of God have worked a miraculous transformation in my life, and I believe they may do the same in yours. During the outbreak of the pandemic, I penned each of these poems. I composed these to inspire and uplift not just myself but also others. When we give up control and let God guide our actions, we open ourselves up to the beautiful possibilities life offers. I spent years trying to live according to my own set of rules, ultimately leading to my downfall. I wouldn't be standing before you today if it weren't for the grace and kindness of God.
