What if the walls are bare, the windows shattered, and everyone's gone?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do I write a description for a book telling the story of my life, make it enticing to read? How do I market my struggles, my pain, my thoughts, emotions, experiences? It's not about money. It's about getting my word out, about giving a voice to the unspeakable, giving a voice to those who never had a chance to explain their side of the story. These poems are about love, loss, unity, community, hope, and the different realities that others and myself live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is about home: the foundation of who we are. A house is not a home; however, it \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e often people, experiences, comfort, and safety. Some don't have a home, whether it be physical or metaphoric, some don't have either; they shouldn't be forgotten. I lost my home. I never didn't have a roof over my head which I'm thankful for, but these walls didn't offer comfort. Yes, they shielded me from the elements, but it was never the same; what I lost, I felt I could never get back.\u003c\/p\u003eI want to thank you for reading my book, and if you don't, I appreciate you taking the time to even read \u003ci\u003ethis\u003c\/i\u003e; I know how precious time is. Everything I have, all that I am, has been put into this book. These poems are the literary embodiment of my soul, my most vulnerable self, and I happily share them with you.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42170844479623,"sku":"9798842908516","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f70bff45fb139bfa94f61c90dbd3254a.webp?v=1733351104","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/home-is-only-a-state-of-mind-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
