About

“I Believe”



Before we begin,

You must understand

That this book is a journey

And the words that are spoken here

Should not be treated

Like a grain of sand.



Yes, I am only a man

With a limited life span.

A man who “Chose” to serve his country:

A man who turned into another Forgotten Veteran.



I can be crude and I can be rude,

Yet in “The End” I always aim to be True

Even if that means I end up offending you

With my realistic, GOD-fearing, patriotic points of view.



Yes, I possess a four-letter vocabulary.

Trust me when I say, you are not only going to read about the flowers and bunnies here.

What you are about to read is not going to be easy.

Not for you, not for me and definitely not for the foolhardy.



So try to forgive me for my sins

And I will do my best at forgiving you for yours

Because after ALL we are only human

Trying our best to get by in this F.U.C.K.E.D.*-up world that we have created

Through ALL of our sins.



*(Forbidden Under Crown of King Every Day)



I started writing these words,

Never expecting them to ever be heard.

I wrote them to get them off my chest

Because I desperately needed some peace and rest.
