Being raised by a family of very strict religious beliefs, I wasforced to live a childhood of imprisonment and boredom. Ihad to listen to a preacher every week ramble on about thewar between God and Satan to wreak havoc on my soul.At the age of four I had my first encounter with a demon. Iknow the apparition that appeared before me was sent by theDevil himself. Thus, leading me into temptation and poisoningmy thoughts. This threw me into a state of confusion whichin-turn started the battle between good and evil within me.Thereafter I begun to rebel against all that was instilled in mymind. To this day I still vividly remember what I experiencedthat night.At the age of fourteen I met a man named Jack Redenuis whoinfluenced me to transform the conflicting thoughts runningthrough my head into words. One afternoon I was relaxingin my room, listening to the radio when I decided to takehis advice. I began to write. It was then I realized how righthe was. By putting feelings and thoughts on paper, onesreconciliation becomes plain and simple.
