Relentless Thoughts

Book Cover & Preview Text
All I've got to tell is from my own hell. Not a creator, but a mere imitator. Myriads of styles combined in my piles. Ideas swarm fast yet derived from past. Cloned from ages, back to bronze and mages. Times changed yet I'm not rearranged, still one considered deranged. Pain-ful insights plunge my brain. Rediscover values already set to uncover. Compromising with death on the horizon. Relatives move out of sight on sedatives. Plugs pulled for those existed through drugs. Slowly all in memory fade heavenly, empty thoughts lead me blindly. Attacked on every side of emotion, happiness even joins the commotion Taunting and haunting my soulless ego. Putting his confident ass on death row. Charging up the chair, for those you care, Tying the noose, can't let him loose, Blade ready to drop, time for him to STOP.

About the Book
This poetry book shows an inside look into my mind as I was going through manic depressive episodes and recovering from them. It is rough and loosely edited to keep the authenticity. Only the layout of the poetry itself has been touched. The basic emotions of humanity are subject to dissection in every section. My thoughts on the human condition are prevalent throughout my journey into and out of madness, along with the general nature of the world around us. Momentary blips of insight can be found, as well as constant messages of doubt and disbelief. These writings are meant to provide people suffering from mental illness some form of catharsis knowing there are others living through similar conditions “Nothing Austin has created is as raw and emotional as this book, and it shows in every line” —Adeel Qureshi “An authentic, poignant, and necessary insight into a talented, young man’s experience with the cycles of life” —Eric Salva
