These poems are a collection of work formulated during one of the worst times in American history. A global pandemic which had affected many people. It especially hit incarcerated individuals such as myself. Being locked down while being locked down, forced individuals like me to find new ways to pass time, release stress, and express themselves. The pandemic allowed me to hone in on my word smith skills. I hope that this collection is enjoyed and felt by the masses as much of it comes straight from my heart.
