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.
