Lost in the thickets of painstaking events, a young man struggled to find faith, balance and himself in a time where his world continuously crumbled beneath his feet. Was the world rigged against him or was he sabotaging himself? Will he succeed or become another statistic in this Stoetic hybrid where short stories and poetry bring forth the author's life changing experiences. Hurt people hurt other people. It's time to heal and break the cycles of ignorance, bad mannerisms, and broken relationships.
