My Story, Through My Eyes is about a young African American dealing with the ups and downs of life. This book is my diary. This book deals with my happiness and sorrow. And that one question that constantly stays on my mind. Will I live to see tomorrow? We are all human. No matter race or age. We all think and feel. We may not think or feel the same way. But all of us do these things. My Story, Through My Eyes is about what I've seen and experienced so far in this world. It's about the intense emotions that I feel. It's about the dreams and nightmares that I have that seemed so real. It's about life. It's about my pain that causes me to have strife. We all felt joy and sadness. We all have seen what happens when insanity turns into madness. We all have seen things that may have been too unbelievable to see. We all felt that love that wasn't meant to be. We all felt heartache and pain. We all felt stress and strain. It's about not giving up. It's about trying. It's about death and dying. It's about commitment and dedication. This book is somewhat like an education.
Love and happiness
Depression and sadness
An insane mind
That leads to madness
Unity
And then separation
Determination and dedication
The importance of education
Seeing visions
Different images
Internal confrontations
And scrimmages
Heartache
Emotional and physical pain
Unbelievable stress
It's hard to maintain
Quitting and trying
Disappointment caused by lying
Living life and dying
My opinions
My points of view
The things that I've done
And do
The thoughts
That I have inside my head
The dreams and nightmares that I have
When I'm asleep in bed
The things that I've experienced
And seen
My emotions from good
To mean
My story
Is about me
I hope that you get a chance
To visualize what I see
Experiencing failure
Celebrating glory
This is my life
This is my story

Much success to you!
