VI
For twenty four years, poetry has been my lifeline. Whenever depression tried to pull me under, I would write until it tired out. Those struggles would last from days to even years. How I am here, writing this now is nothing short of a goddamn miracle. Poetry has always been and still to this day how I keep myself afloat. However, this love triangle between poetry, depression and I has been waging for so long, that I'm ready to drown. I don't know what my future holds. But there is a chance that this collection of poetry will be my last. I just don't want to do this anymore. VI is not for the faint of heart. It's my sixth book and is hellbent on taking the whole world down with me.

His best work and the most painful.
VI is unlike other books by this author.
It is, firstly, SO well written...the prose, the poetry, the vocabulary...the cadence of it...I was deeply touched.
It's a hard book to read but I encourage you to push through.
Many feelings, heartaches, pain, and anguish assault your senses.
It hurt to read but, it made me so enamoured with the writing and pure feelings within.

His Goal Is To Eviscerate You And He Does
There is so much sadness, so much rage, so much heartache. This is poetry at its most vulnerable and really is not for the faint of heart. Be prepared to sit with yourself in silence after reading, as you will be witness to a poet ripping out his very essence and spilling it onto the page. With each poem, whether it is about his soul crushing depression or its impact on his life, he gives you another piece. This is the kind of writing that will hollow you out and leave you wondering if you will ever recover.
