Böcker av Michael Royal

This book is a combination of thoughts and feelings that have been placed on paper in different forms and on a couple of pages by other individuals, veterans that have written a feeling and posted it online from short stories to different forms of attempts at poetry, including attempts at writing the Japanese Haiku style of poetry.I have covered a wide range of subjects from military days to family, depths of depression, the world, and nature. It is an attempt to reach inside and bring forward the ideas that make me happy, sad, depressed, and angry. In these writings, I am able to express myself without opening the old wounds that will always be there. The writing of these stories does not make the memories or pain go away. It helps to deal with and handle my feelings better, with less anger and pain.The stories and poems are my attempt to explain the feelings that are buried deep inside. By bringing them to light, I am freeing my soul while explaining my mind. It is also my attempt to provide an outreach for others to try by digging into their own mind and giving them the peace of releasing their inner feelings without hurting themselves or others, even to just keep a small journal of their feelings and a diary that is theirs's, filled with stories, poems, or even jokes.
