This is a collection of 50 poems and 5 short stories. They are the real and true thoughts and emotions of a young man going into adulthood. Unashamed, unabashed, and unembellished. They are for people to relate to, understand, and feel in company with. No one is alone, and no emotion is unprecedented, no matter how embarrassing, deranged, or secret.This collection is inspired by the works of Charles Bukowski, J.D. Salinger, and Franz Kafka. And gives an idea of masculinity.
