Book Cover & Preview Text
Tsunami I once thought Money was the root of all evil Until I met her The storm that would change My life for the worse The fire that would burn down What took years to build The burst of water That would drown what I stood And lived for Leaving nothing left for me But memories of my misery Along with the feeling of being Trapped inside a cage Filled with rage from the pain That was bestowed upon me How will I rise Is it possible for me to be refurbished Or will my remains Be made a monument For my loved ones to reminisce

About the Book
The Other Me was based on what I feel is one of the most important misconceptions about an individual’s personality. I’m sure everyone has been perceived in a certain way by others and for the most part those preconceived notions are wrong. With that said, that puts you in the position to have to defend yourself against those who misjudge you. The Other Me poetry book is my self defense. The poems in the book are broken into four sections that determine the makeup of me and my personality. What will make readers gravitate to this book is the fact that it’s based on true stories and nothing in this book is fabricated. This is real life with real issues and situations. I like to say the quiet ones have the most to say, but it’s getting others to hear them that’s the problem. So at the conclusion of this book, maybe a few people will finally hear me.
About the Author
I was born and raised in San Bernardino County, California. I grew up from humble beginnings in a single parent home. With no father around, my mother managed to raise three children on her own. I began writing when I was in junior high school. I took creative writing classes in high school and began learning more about poetry. I was told I have a future in poetry writing after reciting a few poems for several acquaintances at that time. While in college, the two English classes I’ve taken helped to develop my writing skills. I looked at poetry writing as a form of expressing my views on multiple topics. It then became my voice and a great way for me to be creative. The Other Me is my first manuscript and we will all be witnesses to see where this goes from here.
