There's one man who cared about him and his well-being, his guidance counselor Mr. Marble who molds him into a better man, is a role model to him and shows him a better way of life. Through the trials and tribulations of life, Robert chronicles his thoughts and experiences on various issues such as family, love, relationships, his neighborhood and growing into the man he wants to be. This book shows that men struggle in life and that sometimes we all need an ear to listen, a talk to clear our minds, a heart that is kind and warmth to comfort our souls. Robert finds a purpose in life for himself after the mistakes he's made and he wants to prove to his family that the cycle of pain can be broken and that needing help and guidance from others doesn't make him weak, it only makes him mentally stronger.

Book Excerpt

The Struggles and Growth of a Man

Daily Struggles (Some Days)

There are some daily struggles that I’m going through,

It is not something I express openly.

It’s not easy being a man in his 20s,

The world tells me to keep everything to myself.

36

Mr. Marble is the only person that I trust,

I can’t talk to my brother all of the time.

Some days I need that companionship,

Just someone to talk to and spend time with.

Thankful that Mr. Marble is a call away,

Sometimes I go to my high school just to say hello.

Talking about what’s on my mind and my struggles,

Allows me to stay focused and also sane.

Friends can be helpful but in all honesty, I don’t have any,

If you want to count those guys outside of my building, then no.

No matter how tough and hard I act on the exterior,

I know I have needs and being sensitive doesn’t make me a punk.

I do need a person’s love and comfort, it’s truly my mother,

I have never had a bond with a woman on a loving level.

I go through the dating struggles all of the time,

Truthfully, I don’t always enjoy meeting new people and going on dates.

Getting to know a woman and trying to trust someone new,

Is an arduous process, I don’t like trying to figure out people’s mindsets.

It gets tiring and a lot of days I just want to give up,

Hearing the same old things from the same people over and over again.

Some days I just want to be honest with someone I am interested in,

But I’m afraid of the outcome, I don’t like rejection but I deal with it.

I truthfully don’t have a lot of confidence in myself,

After a while, meeting someone new becomes an afterthought.

I’m always fighting my mind and heart regularly,

I deal with the battles all the time, I deal with it internally.
