"We don't get involved with the prevention of crime. This is not our job. We are here if he kills you or physically harms you; sorry, we cannot help. I know that he called you 260 times last week and has made 254 photographs of your bedroom windows. But, hey, all this is no hurt to yourself."I was standing in a London police station, not believing my ears. He is doing everything to destroy me and my business, but that is not enough terror I need to be stabbed or killed.When I mentioned that he has broken the court order that was issued for my protection, I was told that it is up to me to prove it in order for the police to act. I was on my own and very scared. I tried to not let him change my life, but I lost that battle. All I could do was write, and so I did. This book can be treated as a manual on how to recognize the kind of men to run from--men that are psychopaths and predators, who will leave you having wrecked your self-esteem, stolen your money and peace of mind, and in the end, your health or your very life. They are just not worth it, so beware!

On the edge,Staring down at worn sneakersBarely on the concrete,Fingertips hovering on rusty rails.How many other souls stood here too?Contemplating the plunge of life and death,A simple breeze the wrong direction.Then suddenly, you're hurtling toward the end.Perhaps they never hesitated.Yet somehow, we all know they did.Each one stood and debated the pros and consJustifying their next move toward oblivion.Despite all being tainted with the same darkness,We insist that alone is all we'll ever be.Gulping desperately at fresh air, only to findMildewed hopes and dreams abandonedRevolted with ourselves, We allow that final pushInto Death's warm embrace.

I wrote my story when I was roughly thirty-six years of age. At that time, I went through depression with suicidal thoughts as I was mostly homeless since I was living out of my car, working when I could, and once out the week I stayed at a motel as long as my money lasted. That's where I wrote my story.Written in different time frames and after a month, I pieced through it, putting it in chronological order. Thus the result of The Pain Within. I took great pleasure writing it as I hope you take a greater pleasure reading it.

My sleep was full of monsters that chased me and my wakening was full of things that threatened me. I couldn't tell the difference between reality and my hallucinations.They counselled me and gave me drugs - so many drugs. I had a constant conversation with seven people screaming at me, telling me to do evil things, in my mind. My own self hid from the hate and evil.

Instead, I found an older, wiser, stronger person. One who had gone through hell and had survived. That's me.

Esta es el musculo mas desarrollado del humano y el que monotonamente se ejerce para poder vivir con facilidad nuestra vida.El titulo se deriva de las paradas de estacion que representan los matices de nuestra propia mente, asi, dividiendo el presente poemario en todos aquellos acontecimientos que ella conocio como la devocion.

Ever since I chose to write what I felt at sixteen, I needed to recall everything. I needed to understand the what and the why.This is my attempt at figuring it out.
