Fairytales and Star Light

By Dr Francis Dasilva

A collection of works and words acting as a quotes and poetic journey for the last 8 years of my life. It covers the time period when I felt my life had been flipped upside down and felt bleak. But in those times I found my outlets. Exercise and poetry. I lost 35kg (77lbs) in weight and physically and mentally transformed. Poetry helped me unload some of the burden and gave me the words to rewire my own mind.

My hope now is that my words through this book share a bit of strength and hopefulness. My dream is that in some part it might help at least one person to not feel quite so alone. Bring a glimmer of light to someone who may feel that pain of hopelessness. I wish that through my words, story and life, I can show that you can turn things around. You can write your fairytale. Even when the cards seem stacked against you, you can. And on that journey you realise that you, yourself, are your own Star Light.
