Reality Check - 9781549541445

This is a second series of books of poetry I wrote. It was written when I was alone with mental illness with no one. Except me and my iPad. I became an author by accident with no idea this would turn out to be a book. Of all things like poetry. I first became introduced to poetry by wanting to talk to someone besides praying to God. I didn't want to journal. That would be too flat for me. Just like writing to myself. I needed some method to put my thoughts down in a novel way such as to answer my inquiries about life's issues. In a way that helped my feelings and addressed what I was dealing with. I became a poet. Not the kind that won Nobel Prizes. Someone average, like most. One that could attempt to solve my concerns on paper or in my case on my iPad. Dealing with abstract subjects only poetry could answer. It started to work and now I made books dealing with my life with mental illness. You don't have to be mentally ill to understand my writings. It's universal to all. I would be thankful for you to take the time to read this book. And try to understand what it's like for me to deal with a life with mental illness. I hope you see my work as art.
