    About this ebook

    These writings are lessons that I've learned in life. Things that I've struggled with and things that I felt that I need to say. So you might know me a little better today. Some of it was my creative imagination being direct and positive at the same time is a good way to express yourself on a piece of paper. I hope you have enjoyed what you've read. I like everyone who takes the time to read one or two of these pages. If you like the whole thing more power to you. I love you all, youre all my friends and I support you one hundred percent.

      Introduction

      The sun rises on the east side of the horizon. It’s the start of a new day. It’s a day that could lead anywhere another day locked inside with little to do I think I’ll write a book. And it’s going to take time but that’s all I got until I get out of this locked hall. It will be a book of short stories and poems that is what I’m going to start today. And I’m going to let it go as far as it can and if you enjoy it, thank you please read along my names Mark Elsen and this is a journey into my mind.

      Everyday

      Everyday-Everyday and we pray to god and that’s ok. Singing our songs and we’re playing along cause that’s how we’re going to carry on. Having faith in god today. Believe in ourselves because there ain’t no one to tell ourselves that we need to love our neighbors and friends. We are a bunch of gentlemen going to town not leading astray. Having trouble sometimes and not feeling ok but I got someone here saying I’m going to be fine. I stopped smoking all the nickels and dimes. Putting faith in myself because there ain’t no one else who is going to pull me out of the trouble. It’s all up to me because I caused the trouble you see. So I ask god to help out and save me today and now I’m feeling A-ok. Because I feel brave and it all starts today to have faith in what I’ve got and believing in praise.

      Conversations

      Take time to rewind, and be kind to the mind. At ease, and let go of the trouble please, keep your mind at ease. Because hearts shatter with fragile minds, everything heals in time. The journey begins with the thoughts in your mind so be strong and let victory carry on. Leaders win and have great defeats that leads other minds to different times and discussions to make. Which makes life great which brings up debates to change the decisions people in life make.

      Grasp

      Let me properly write about how to fight the feeling that makes you stay awake at night. The dreams that contain the adventure
