True Emotions of a Man is a collective book of poetry inspired by real life events. Giving the world full access to my life and emotions, I present myself with pure transparency and vulnerability. Be prepared to experience the mental,physical, spiritual and emotional battle of my life.

True Emotions of a Man: The Boy, The Man & His God is a poetry book in autobiographical form. Each poem tells a story of a specific time and experience in the author's life, from a young child to his supernatural realizations. As a young child Mr. Hampton witnessed domestic abuse, survived childhood cancer and was a victim of sexual abuse. Through his transparent recollections he invites his audience into the bolted chamber where his inner secrets and emotions are tucked away. By exposing his personal truths he encourages the audience to find parallels in their own lives. Not only will this collection of inspirational poetry inspire you; it will change your life forever.



Excerpt

Sexual Abuse not only damages the victim physically but mentally and emotionally...


Violation

You took from me, my right to be, emotionally

Free

You stole from me, mental stability

Even now, my mind continues to revisit the moment and time

The moment and time you violated me.



My self-worth diminished

I continued to question, "Why me?"

"Did I deserve what happened?"

Maybe, possibly

"Maybe I was a bad person!"

If all of those thoughts are wrong, well why don't you tell me your version!

Of a story forced to be written

Of a body and mind taken

Of a heart forsaken

Of the pain you caused me

The pain you caused me,

When you violated me.



Unable to connect with those around me

In fear that they too would misuse me

You left me handicapped socially

And never had the decency

To offer me an apology.

You violated me!

Doesn't that count for anything?

You violated me!

In my ears, your voice continues to ring;

Ring of the words you said to me

The words you said to me, as you violated me.



I can still see your face

I can still see the moment

I can still see the bed

All of this plays like a movie

Running through my head

Tears of embarrassment stream down my face

Looking in the mirror all I see is disgrace

As you walk around the neighborhood happily

I live with the pain, agony and disgust of when you violated me!



I cry at night

I smile during the day

This way

No one knows what happened to me

I never want anyone to know

That you violated me.



Will I ever be free?

Mentally, Emotionally

Will I ever see

Happiness in all its glory?

Will my mind finally be released

From the taunting images of

The actions you forced on me?

Will I ever be strong enough to overcome

The reality of what happened to me?

Can I ever forgive you?

That could take an eternity

Now I'm standing here, waiting to be set free

Until my time I guess I will have to live with the fact that

You violated me.

Mighty strong! Fantastic work. An autobiography in poetic form. Incredible.

Contessa Brown
It is always hard to face your fear especially if it is a person. But thanks be to God that He has given you courage to face this dark past!!! This is going to encourage so many others to express their fears and frustrations and release the hurt and pain!
