Just My Thoughts

About the Book

“Just My Thoughts” is a collection of poems representing everyday thoughts of a young man and what he sees in the world around him. Speaking on love, Conyers generally writes about the initial attraction of a man toward a woman. His writings express love with a lyrical flow. However, he also speaks on a man’s frustration with society as well as with his government. As a motivator, he writes to encourage people to stand up and fight for change. Knowing that no man is perfect, his poetry also reflects on a man’s imperfections and the struggle to better himself.

About the Author

Initially, poetry was written by David Conyers as part of his personal journal, which he kept during his Army basic training days. Continuing his education while in the military, Conyers enrolled as a student with the University of Maryland European Division. One of his classes included a creative writing course, where he learned different styles of poetry. After the St. Pete Riots in the mid 1990’s, Conyers began to deviate away from the typical love poems. Instead, he writings developed an inspirational feel that encourages people to fight against the wrongs of society.
