Poems from an Unwashed Soul

For anyone who has ever felt downtrodden; for anyone who has ever felt like they were not enough for someone else; for anyone who has ever had to tell themselves, "Enough!"; for anyone who has felt as if they have so many thoughts, emotions, and problems that they cannot deal with them all and don't know how to express any of them; for anyone who has ever been lost, torn, tossed, pushed around, bullied, berated, fallen, falsified, tormented, tortured, aggravated, assaulted, attacked, affronted, afraid, abandoned, or abused. This is for you, each and every one of you. May you find some semblance of solace in these words. This is the longest poetic anthology by Jason Wallace to date, written over the course of fourteen years, since the age of eighteen. *Some of the poems herein contain adult language.
