This book of poetry highlights the ups and downs through the perspective of a person who has overcome his disabilities, despite all odds. These disabilities include cerebral palsy and dyslexia. This book strikes a balance between being spiritual in nature, and all the while adopting a contemporary tone. As the title of the book implies, the poems progress from a negative tone in the beginning to a more positive tone as one progresses through the pages of the book.About the Author: The author has personally struggled through drug addiction, but has been clean for seven years.
