"...I basically asked for God to help me express all these hurts and resentments in healthy, balanced ways that would clear me but not hurt anyone else in the process. The poetry started that night and has not stopped since. It has been part of my self-inventory ever since. Excerpt: "When I was done with that poem, I was done with the resentment toward this person almost immediately. I could easily have compassion for this person and he did not bother me that much ever again." Mr. You-Owe-Me Copyright© 2002. All Rights Reserved, C.L.

About the Book
How many times has someone really made you angry, but you didn’t speak up at the time? How long did the things you wanted to say roll around in your head, taking up your good energy and sometimes literally making you sick? The next thing you know you are screaming at that same person for accidentally spilling a little coffee and you look a little cray-cray, but only you know where that anger really came from. This is a simple and sometimes silly portrayal of how one person was so frustrated with all of the imaginary conversations, they literally asked for help to heal them and the result: the rhyming rantings and ravings found in this book.
