How Deep I Can Be: Lessons and Confessions

To rise out of nothingness for the world to see To speak from my heart, a mind flowing free To release from my soul, my poetry To be liberated from within is How deep I can be To reveal a misunderstood, hidden part of me To dispel preconceived notions with reality To share my past, present, and sweet destiny To paint a portrait of my life is How deep I can be To write what I hear and then call it poetry is Only one example of How deep I can be In this deeply personal, yet profoundly universal collection, poet John D. Evans captures the life story of a young adult in urban America who was born in obscurity, overcame insecurity, and has lessons and stories to share. With titles like "I Remember When," "The Murder of Madam Roach," and "Reality Check," these thoughtful poems illuminate the "P's" and "D's" of life-Portraits, Power, Party, Dreams, Decisions, and Drama. Brave and unashamed, this ponder-worthy poetic journey will enlighten readers of all ages.
