I learned this early. At 16, I got my first job at a convenience food store owned by a man named Robert Lee. At first, it felt promising. The pay was decent for the work we did. But when Robert’s wife stepped in, everything changed. Our wages dropped to just $13 a week.

To Mother
Alone in the dark, a young boy begins to cry. “Mother! MOTHER!” he calls out in desperation. Why does he scream so urgently? Why, in the midst of all that frightens us, do we often call for our mothers? One could deduce that perhaps it is due to the womb being our first place of memory for some, and for others a distant dream in the subconscious. Either way, this warm, dark, peace is our first experience of existence prior to birth across the board. We hear our mother’s heartbeat from within, alone in the dark. We are fed from her placenta through our umbilical cords. She literally gives us life. It makes sense to call for our creator when we feel threatened. However, the meaning of the word, “mother,” is far more complex than simply a female that has a child. Sometimes a birth mother passes, or they find themselves unable to care for a child who must be given to a close relative or perhaps adopted out. There are even some without a formal family. Nevertheless, most people will claim to have at least one motherly figure in their lives. How is this so if a mother is limited to the woman who gave birth to you? It isn’t. “Mother,” is not just a noun; it is also a verb. A mother is more than a woman who has given birth to or adopted a child, she is also a lifelong support system, protector, and guide to the world for anyone whom she chooses to mother.

The smoke of a cigarette is like a train. The Drugs that almost killed me. Drinking alcohol is like a fish. We eat food like pigs.. Content Warning.
Chapter One: Smoke and Steel He smoked like a train. Not for pleasure. Not for rebellion. But for rhythm. The rhythm of survival. The rhythm of forgetting. Each drag was a beat in the song of his struggle. Each exhale, a cloud of memory he didn’t want to carry anymore.
