Behind the Mask of Deception

About the Book

This book is a collection of personal thoughts, experiences, and life learned lessons. Each section is contributed to a part of life which people go through. No matter who you are, you can relate to each section in some way. No one person will comprehend an individual poem the same, and that´s what’s so great about this book. It’s unique in that it is “reader specific”. For example, the poem, “Potent Substance” may be interpreted as a poem about being addicted to drugs; whereas another individual may view the same poem as portraying a particular person or thing in their life as a drug. This book is versatile in that it can be applied individually.
