"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso
confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
     ~ (Proverbs 28:13)


From self-discovery, to self-denial; bonds of procrastination to freedom of thought; to rediscovery. We all have doubts, as Christians, or otherwise, and what we most seek is clarity. What is most important is to never give up.

MY CONFESSIONAL LETTERS is a collection of poems written over different periods of time, over a number of years, to date. The first of the MY CONFESSIONAL LETTERS poem, 'The First Letter: Dear Namakau' was penned in 2014, a confession of Smiley's feelings for this girl, which he never got to deliver. The book is full of the confessions of what I should've done but never did, what I did but should never have, decisions and indecisions, experiences and what impact they've had on my life. Through this, Smiley says, the aim is draw lessons that incite change, in the reader, and me, because ministers not only speak to other people; to have a winning spirit, trust the extent procrastination, that can greatly hinder one's progress in life, can be overcome. Mindset matters, happiness is an attitude, so is winning.

Inside you will find a mixture of both, extremely RAW and refreshingly HEALING accounts of my personal war with my past. Unfortunately, Childhood sexual abuse is far too common, and many of share similar experiences. Looking back, what I could have used more than anything was someone to tell me "You're not alone, there is a lightness through the darkness, you can heal from this and most importantly don't EVER stop telling your story to make others comfortable". I've learned that silence is the best weapon for a predator, and I for one, have never been really good at doing what I'm told. I don't intend on starting now. I wear my scar as reminder that I hold the power in my own story, it is mine to tell and I won't make myself sick keeping quiet because my truths are hard to swallow, other people's comfort is not my problem. My Goal is rather simple, to let the readers know, they too are not alone. If you are a survivor, even if you still feel like a victim, this is my personal message to you. "You are strong, and it wasn't your fault. Tell someone... tell anyone...tell everyone... We shift from victims to survivors when we speak up and tell our stories. There's nothing wrong with you, and the light will shine again. The longer you sit in silence the more power your abuser still holds over you, wipe your face warrior, because there's a lion right inside of you, DONT EVER GIVE UP!" *This story is FULL of TRIGGERS, please be careful reading if triggers are hard for you, your mental health matters* *I own all the Rights to all parts of this book*

I'm always searching for something worth staying for but I can't seem to find that until then please don't mind me because I'm just a traveler passing through. When I'm not satisfied or happy I'll leave and find a new path, so just let me say goodbye... Can I say goodbye? I wrote till my hands bruised and heart bled. I wrote and wrote in hopes that some day, somebody will understand my words and all the things I wish I could say... Each poem is a story. My story. Some are fictional but most of them are true. I know you're curious. From painful heart breaks to high school stories. A person dealing with mental illnesses, fears and abuse. Won't you like to know about the drama?
