No Rest for the Weary

Book Cover & Preview Text
"Failure can be a blessing, if you take it as a lesson, not stressing because spirits when there low can be depressing and testing your faith to the end of the session, resist regression, hold on the dreams with aggression because those that lose sight of the hope go broke trying to ease anxiety and cope, but after the joke reality is there to help you mope and sigh, if you feel it let them cry because it's hard to deal with pain, but easy to wipe a tear from your eye, you ask why I know this poem will hit home, picture the ones you love the most in life, you wake up and they could be gone."

About the Author
Hi my name is Theodore Moody Jr, better known as Teddy. I am from Savannah, Ga. I started writing about 8 yrs. ago and have not put the pen and pad down yet. Writing for me has never been a hobby because I never new I could write until that one day in Feburary of 2001. I had been dealing with problems that were causing alot of pressure for a young man and I felt as if I had no outlet. Well one day after listening to a particular song on repeat for the whole day, I was at a red light and a sentence just appeared in my head. It was like a light that went off in my head and showed me where to go and what to do. I got home awhile later and wrote my first three poems. It was like an outer body experience. Now 8 yrs. later I have written a many of poems and short stories. I have done spoken word in my home town of Savannah and also in Atlanta. I wrote a poem for a local magazine called Reflections. Now I am proud to present my work to the rest of the world in hopes that they will embrace my thoughts. Most my poems still begin with a sentence in my head. Then I go into what I like to call, "the zone" and I compose the rest of the writing. I really don't know what I've written until I read it back to myself. It's almost as if I have no control over myself when it comes to my poetry. It's apart of my life. With this book complete and on its' way, I have already began production on book two. I eagerly anticipate the response of my readers.
