Publisher's Synopsis
This poetry collection addresses the faults we find in ourselves and explores how we can face up to, understand and survive the demons alive and kicking in our hearts and minds. Depression and anxiety are difficult subjects to talk about, often left undiagnosed and without a cure. In these pages, you will find a coping mechanism and a salvation that can only be found by being brutally and unapologetically honest with yourself. We must always reap what we sow because the law of cause and effect tells us so. We are so much more than our actions; our fears, beliefs, and attitude are key to how we deal with life experiences. We must learn to accept ourselves, including our failures, and know that what is hidden by darkness will have its time to shine in the light. Truths, no matter how ugly they may be, will reveal themselves and beauty and goodness will be forthcoming.Billy Charles Root reminds us to keep a faithful heart, to walk with patience and with the promise of euphoria in each and every step. His poetry shows us how to keep hope awake in the most tiring and darkest of nights. The battles that run riot in our hearts and minds are necessary and allow us to prepare for and win the war.-L.J. Diaz, author of Catching Snowflakes
