The Mirror Black Edition is a collection of therapeutic poetry, short stories, as well as some long stories that I have endured through my 20 year military career and I would like to share this journey with you or anyone that is that suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as any kind of traumatic issues that people suffer from. The manuscript was officially pieced together after my father passed away in 2017. I fell through my journey that individuals help me and I needed to give back something in return.

The combat veteran suffering with posttraumatic stress disorder deployed in almost every environment throughout the world, several military deployment, as well as this non-intimate marriage, where I stayed because of my daughter.
I do not know where this journey will continue or go, but for now, I am trying to clear my mind and help at least one person as much as I can. I travel throughout these mirrors, listening to your stories of pain and sorrow
