Book Cover & Preview Text
"From Yesterday" Again I'm gripped by the emptiness of loss Of being without - I write this with no head A series of knocks to my chest would echo A stiff punch and I would crumble to the floor Here I am, celebrating each blink hoping for sleep Clinging to unconsciousness for escape All I am is in question, I'm afraid of the answers She became me and I became her When she slept, I was rested When she felt pain, it crippled me Now on solid ground, I miss the clouds There are no more colors, life in greyscale Music salts my wounds, time remains motionless I remain motionless, grateful for the present The only gift I want is missing All seems to be forgotten I taste tears that jog my memory

About the Book
Re:Born is a follow-up to Smith's first book Tears Of Fire, describing events, relationships, and internal struggles that have primarily taken place after the first book was published. Tears Of Fire offered its readers love, sex, heartbreak, anger and confusion, and Re:Born offers more of the same at higher degrees of potency, bravery, and introspection. Although it is no secret that Smith's work is based on his real-life experiences, the first ten pages of Re:Born will lead you to believe you are reading about yourself. Witness the rebirth.
