A sobering account of a young man's attempt to conquer drug dependency.

Introducing each segment is an author's note that not only provides the subject of the next ten poems, but also instructions on how to read them for example, "Before you read these poems of love here is a little to help you understand my state of mind"; or "Be brave and read, my pain and anger."
