The works that you are about to read are my own little stages of life. I know some of the work is different and some of it might be a little hard to understand, but that is just me. I am different and hard to understand at times. I believe that when someone creates something, they give a little of themselves to that piece of work and give it a life of its own. So in a way, all these poems are me. They are who I am. They are my dreams and my nightmares all in the same place together for the first time. This book is a combination of my work over the last seven years. I have been writing since I was eight years old. I loved to write stories about different worlds. I guess it was my own way of getting away from everything else. Everyone needs a place to escape to, and my writing was my escape—my own little world where anything and everything was possible. I could go there and not worry. Now my escape has become my passion. Most people at my age don’t know what they want out of life or what they want to do with it. Some people have dreams and never get close to achieving them, not for lack of trying but because life just gets too complicated and they forget about them. I know because that is how I felt about my life. I know your twenties is not the age to be so distraught about life but I was. I was forced to grow up fast, and by that time, I was worn out. I had seen a lot of bad things in my life, and I felt that my life was just going to always be this way. No hope, no trust, no dreams. It was not up until a few years ago that I changed my way of thinking. I found that life is just that it is life. And what I mean by that is, I was taking life too seriously. I was holding myself back. I was the one giving up on my dreams. Life was not to blame for my shortcomings—it was me. I put myself in that place where I had no hope, I had no drive to try and make myself better. It was up to me to get out of the hole that I had dug for myself. That is what I mean when I when I say life is just life. Life is what you make it out to be. I decided to make my life better and turn my dreams into reality. I did so with help from some friends and family. Now my dream has become a reality. A lot of people ask me, “Is this it?” I tell them no. I say the great thing about dreams is “you can keep making more.” So that is what I intend to do. So though a little off and a little strange these poems might seem, they are a part of me and they are something I am very proud of. I have accomplished more than I ever thought I would in my life, and at this age, I see nothing but more to come. To all those who have helped me, I thank you. So here it is. I give you my midnight tales.visualizza meno
