WHY DO I WRITE?

I write because I am worried and I have all these voices that are speaking at the same time and I just need to listen to them one at a time or simply have a moment of silence before I can even listen to them. I write because it gives me peace of mind, it is like parking a car on the side of a highway because I can't handle it that time, so I keep walking but it moves with me until I am ready to get back in again. It's like a jail for all the things that are happening but I am not ready to do, so I keep them there until I can be able to deal with them. I sometimes put them there too long and by the time I am ready, I find that they have grown too strong. They have made the prison their home and I become imprisoned to the thoughts I didn't say, opportunities not taken, but when everything goes well, they free me. With this book I would like to share with you all my prisoners that I have charged through out my years at wits. The pieces in this book are inspired by the people I have encountered in my life and the experiences I have been through and I hope that in as much as it is how I felt, it resonates with you as you go through it.
