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.

Our Minds Get The Best of Us

This is the one chapter we all deal with as human beings. All of the things we think in our minds that end up getting the best of us. At some point we all tend of overthink and overanalyze things no matter what it may be. Robert is writing about things that we have all thought about or experienced at some point in our lives. He wants answers but there's more questions than answers and he's trying to figure it all out slowly and progressively. We sometimes forget to take a deep breath and let life happen the way it's supposed to. Sometimes we just let our minds get the best of us.

Book Excerpt

The Struggles and Growth of a Man

Late Night Thoughts

When we can’t sleep, there are thoughts roaming in our domes,

We’re thinking of our futures and where we are in our lives.

What if we don’t accomplish all of our goals?

Are we considered a failure if we don’t?

Many people won’t feel that we are failures,

But the pressures in our mind, we will feel we are a failure.

What if we don’t make it and get to where we want to be?

Do we just give up and do something else?

Do we keep striving for the goal we want and have always wanted?

What if we’re meant to go down a different path in life?

Our pride and egos keep us from giving up on our bigger goal,

But how do we stay motivated every day when we are mentally drained?

Do I make my significant other happy every day?

What if they decide they don’t want to be with me anymore?

56

How will I handle that? Do they love me for who I am?

Can I achieve my goals and dreams along with love someone?

How do I keep society from brainwashing me from achieving my goals?

It’s so hard to keep the negative thoughts out of my mind.

I seem to always doubt myself or question myself,

There goes that negativity getting the best of me again.
