Beautiful Reflections are what looked back at me as I stared at the world through cell bars.

Beautiful Reflections are what looked back at me when I held my soul and judged myself.

These beautiful reflections mirror my beautiful struggle. A struggle that took thirty years of incarceration for me to compile, and reveal to mainstream society, without fear of being judged, ridiculed, or rejected.

These beautiful reflections will take you through my development and growth, my journey through introspection, luv and desires, and my beautiful struggle.

This is not a work of fiction, these verses and stanzas are my "reality" - I hope you enjoy and allow these poetic verses to give you the energy and strength to look in your mirror, and use it as a tool to live in your reality without apologizing for who you are - Only U can judge U.
