My Sore Eye's

By Jerome K Godbee Jr

When a bullet struck him directly in the mouth at just 19 years of age, Jerome's life was forever changed. He refused to be held back by any limitations. Instead, he allowed the experience to propel him forward, strengthening his will, and is now a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Years later, he joined a R&B singing group and proved worthy to be the opening act for famous musical Artists Monica and Usher. Pursuing the arts further, Jerome was cast in the musical The Color Purple and Tyler Perry's movie Why Did I Get Married Too and more.

These new and selected poems reveal the universal truths woven into the fabric of his life. He invites the readers into the world of his heart, where they can explore their own inner light and embrace the power of the imagination.

This collection is not just poetry, but it offers a heavy symbiotic experience that box braids childhood memories, social issues, spirituality, and relationships. Through Jerome's evocative verses, readers are stirred to embrace a life filled with gratitude, courage, and love.
