Chapter 7: Staying True To The Blue: My Battle with Psychosis

Everyone has a cool origin story. Mine begins in Queens, New York, in my grandparents' basement. Throughout life, everyone goes through different struggles and problems. Usually, you have friends and family to help you through, but sometimes you don't. During this book of poems, I cope with a multitude of issues from being a child out of wedlock and divorced parents to addiction, generational curses, and seeing demons. It might sound dark, but I have a positive outlook on life and choose to laugh at life's small inconveniences. The title begins with "Chapter 7" because I believe that in life, you have chapters or seasons. For this chapter, you will experience how I come to have peace with myself and the world around me. The "blue" refers to a couple of different things from my blue hair for a period of time to the feelings I felt while going through this period of my life. I believe it is always important to stay true to who you are and spread cheer to those around you. I hope my words inspire you and drive the enemy further under your feet.
