"It's my goal as a lyricist to persist upon invoking the notion that provoking emotion through what I say can be done when my words are spoken in such a way that even the blind can see what's inside of me and the message is then relayed through the many expressions being portrayed by each tear that traces their faces; allowing each and every word to be heard, even by the ones who cannot hear, because tears can make a profound sound even when they fall upon deaf ears."

Speaking in an Unspoken Language

Spoken word, poetry, short stories, and engagements into intriguing life topics from Inside the Mind of Z will take you on a journey of one man's noble path, the revelation of his unintentional self-destruction and the subsequent challenge to discover how he ended up there. You will see how he used creative writing to repair the damage he had done inside himself and what steps he took to evolve into the man that he had always intended to be. By blending romance and literary fiction, Empty Pages invites you to experience devastation, tragedy, love, lust, and erotic encounters; along with the pain and heartache that a single father endured while watching his children process the effects of maternal abandonment and the self-inflicted damnation that he suffered for failing his children. It also sheds light on his mental growth, the resurrection of his soul, the strength and dedication that he devoted toward finding a way back to being the man he was meant to be, becoming the father his children deserved, and an eagerness to share his experience of healing - through creative writing - with as many people as possible.

Using a few intentional sections, called Empty Pages, you are invited to notate any thoughts, feelings, ideas, concepts, questions, words, or phrases that the creative works found within this collection compel you to write down. This book was designed with the aspiration that its readers (YOU) would find the inspiration to embark on your own journey into and of yourself.
