Restoration: In The Words Of A True Lyricist

About the Book

In life one must come to a realization that nothing is ever promised. Sometimes we place expectations on family, friends, and close associates; however, when that expectation is no longer met we immediately loose our cool. We do not expect our uncle from next door to rape us, we never expect friends to discredit our name, nor do we expect family members to discourage us and tell us that we will never amount to anything.Unfortunate as it may sound these occurrences continue to happen. When situations as these arise we begin to think that these circumstances are ones we have to face alone. Many times we then fall into a state of depression unaware of how much power we allowed someone to have over our life. The next question at issue is how do one then proceed past their current state of mind? Within this poetic book of substance you will find issues circulating from poverty, to molestation, to faith. These reflections will take you on a journey where you are able to understand that you are not alone and there is a light at the end of every tunnel.
