Synopsis

A book about a young man named Robert who chronicles a poetic diary about his struggles through childhood of having a drug addicted mother and a deadbeat father. He is working his way through life learning a lot of rights and wrongs while being a role model to his younger brother. 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. A book that everyone will enjoy from beginning to end.

Book Excerpt

The Struggles and Growth of a Man

The Heart and Mind

The heart and mind tell us different things,

We struggle with what’s right and wrong all the time.

This is what a lot of men feel when it comes to our hearts,

So come along for the ride of my thoughts.

The heart is torn into different pieces,

Like paper shredded on the floor needing to be picked up.

Our minds are fried like eggs in a pan,

The pressures of trying to figure out this word called love.

Trying to put the pieces together of both body parts,

Easier said than done in a world we think of as cold.

We experience the feelings and emotions we can’t explain,

We’re not ready to be open and vulnerable to our truths.

We fall in love with the different distractions in our lives,

It keeps our minds from thinking and our hearts from aching.

41

We all aren’t cold, ruthless and mean,

The depths of our souls need healing sometimes.

The men with the tough lives that we’ve endured,

They need the most love, care and healing they can get.

Our hearts want love and fulfillment from that one special person,

Our minds want peace, melancholy and ease.

We lose a sense of ourselves battling our hearts and minds,

We drown our sorrows in different ways and regularly.
