Poetry is the only hope of a broken soul to express the torment of life and the pain each day brings.Jeremy used the gift of poetry to express his inner most feelings and fears. This compilation of lyrical verses became his way of dealing with the world in which he found himself. The mistakes he made and the problems of his past are all brought to the surface in an effort to rebuild his life and reshape a future he once thought lost. Through his words he has found solace and hope. Cries of a Troubled Heart is a poetic look at a life gripped by the destruction of physical abuse, mental abuse and drug abuse.
