Over the past two decades, I've penned these verses. They aren't grand or intricate masterpieces, but they are what my addicted and diseased brain came up with. Many are reflections of my journey through alcoholism and drug addiction. Others are just random thoughts that came in the darkness. Some poems were crafted in sobriety, while most emerged from the haze of substance use. A few, I believe, hold merit, while others might be less impressive. Regardless, you might find them entertaining or intriguing. This collection spans my life, with the oldest piece dating back to 1987, written when I was just fourteen.
