    About this ebook

    I am discovering the love that I have for myself. I am finding comfort in being alone. I can take all that time to better myself and my craft. Both entities I have mentioned are improving tremendously. I have made a lot of mistakes, yes. I have said a lot of things that I had no business saying, yes. Through those errors is where the true growth comes in. I'm glad that I was singled out, or not paid any attention to. It gave me all the motivation that I needed. Thank you.

      GOING TO A PARTY with Alzheimer’s

      Jul 2, 2020

      It is a Saturday evening. I am getting ready to go to a party. I am not looking forward to it, though it is hard to explain why. I can see the tremor of my fingers, as I apply my make-up. I worry that my lipstick is smudged, or perhaps on my nose in

      Abandonado - Khali Raymond

      The beauty of being broken

      my drudgery is profound, my face has no frown

      delivering it downtown with this one, hold on

      all the self-hate i kept bottled in at seventeen years old

      odium against myself

      spewing it in every book i’ve written

      speaking in acerbic linguistics

      looking back on it now, i laugh it off

      life has showed me around and back too many times

      memorized every path and plain

      don’t want to take any shortcuts cuz’

      i already know how to get there by now

      ready to set the world on fire, my days of living in poverty is numbered

      amid times that are troubling the souls of men

      my insecurities no longer put me on the defensive

      i’ve come to embrace the discomforts of everyday

      no matter the situation at hand

      i have found beauty in being broken

      accepting i’m not perfection may be the most perfect thing ever

      like the utopian society we might not ever have least not in this lifetime

      my anxieties have been made to combust, disdain is now at bay

      not one to engage in
