A Lost Mind Guided By A Tormented Soul

By Derrius Fortson

This book takes you through the journey of a young boy slowly aging into a man against his better judgement. Since the age of 6 I've always had these overwhelmingly strong emotions and thoughts but never knew how to get them out of my head until I discovered poetry, the expression of one's self through abstract word play and rhyming. I struggled with my sense of self, my religious beliefs, my sexuality, and most importantly love very early on in my life and found poetry as an amazing outlet to express the internal manifestations of my being. I have always hidden my emotions in my writings thus hiding them from the rest of the world and in most cases myself as I didn't know how to express my feelings externally, but these feelings were too strong to just let go or bury so I wrote them down hoping one day I could share them with others like myself. I hope you get something out of this book that you can take with you and share with others.
