This book is a piece of art that consists of poems that express the many emotions, experiences and trials and tribulations that have helped me navigate throughout my life.
Before you open this to the first poem, do me a favor. Imagine your best memories, worst fears, and insecurities were exposed for all to see. Now, imagine that no matter what those feelings or experiences may be, you are still worth it.That is the message of this masterpiece. No matter what page you flip to, you'll be overwhelmed with non-stop emotions. Every poem is a puzzle piece that as you put it together, you'll realize that even through lust and bad times you can find love and hope. My brother, you have done us all a favor in writing this instant classic.In a world overran with chaos and "emotionless" people, this will be a reminder that flaws and all we're just human. That even though we're hurting, we are at our strongest when we confront our feelings instead of shutting them off.Every poem will make you wonder how he does it. The answer is hope, love, family, and God. Antoni has challenged us to feel again, like the emotional beings we are. The scripture says to "come as you are," not stay as you are. This is a transformational experience in book form. Thank you, Antoni, for allowing me to deliver your foreword and for challenging the world to live in our truth. -Channing "Yondo" Strickland IPA PR DirectorCo-Author of
