This book of poetry explores the realm of survival. Each poem reflects a point when a person sacrifices themself in a situation... in many instances for love. It explores what happens when someone holds onto an idea so much that it consumes them. These notions conflict with the core of the person and eventually forces them to become lost, confused, depraved, changed, and much more. Through this conflict: a person adapts to the situation, kills to survive, or a part (or whole) of themself dies. Eventually so much changes that the person behind the mirror is unrecognizable. Confronting issues of self-image and personal value are brought out. After a while, it implores questions such as: How far are you willing to go? How deep have you sunken? Is it worth it? Should you shun it or learn from the experience? Treat the book as an instrument to learn from defeating notions of self. The illustrations presented are symbolic portrayals of the poems. Life isn’t always black or white. Most people travel through both colors mixing into shades of grey. To be blind is to see one side or another. To know life there must balance. It is my intent to show others a glimpse of a paths that some have taken.

Carlton Rolle has had the opportunity to observe and live in various lifestyles. These places influenced the core of what made up his value system. Throughout all of the experiences, he began to understand that everyone has a story to tell regardless of their socio-economic, religious, racial, sexual, historically-based beliefs, etc. Carlton graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts. He then attained a Master’s degree in Business Administration from University of Phoenix. With life experiences and knowledge from academia to support himself, Carlton began writing for several web-based magazines and blogs. During this time he began to explore writing in several genres. In Carlton’s life, language and writing became another mode of expression. Writing sets the stage for thoughts and knowledge to be shared. He believes that people who connect with others have greater understanding of themselves. Carlton wants to enrich the world with artistic forms of expression from the mind, body, and soul of an experience.
