I Am... Everything I'm Not

About the Book

This book is about all the things that I'm not, and in doing so, is really an inside look at all the things that I am. As a child, I hated poetry. I thought it was too girly for guys to read. Going through my divorce from my first marriage, and the legal fight I had just to see my children; I found out that poetry is very passionate and very therapeutic. I found the passion that I had been missing in my first marriage by writing it into my poems and even though I'm not talented enough to write my poetry in rhymes, I am hoping each one will strike a cord to the reader on a personal or maybe even a spiritual level. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be somebody or something else? This book lets you try it out. Ever wondered what it would be like to be black? To be God? To be gay? To be a sliding glass door? To be a used car salesman? This book gives you that chance to step into these different worlds without ever having to leave to comfort of you world. So buckle up and enjoy the ride.
