Introduction: Kristoph Gavin

Each of us

Has a story to tell.

Whether it is short,

Or lengthy,

Our voices must be heard.

I have brought for you a variety of poems,

A "collection",

One might say.

A collection of darkness.

Those who have shared with me

Their story,

Or those whose words

Are passed on,

May still be out there,

Walking in the bright light,

Living amongst you.

Or, more likely,

They are simply like me.

Calmly waiting

In my solitary cell,

The thirteenth of many,

Patiently awaiting my death.

"Murder is a killer"

One might say,

But there is more than that.

The mental and emotional toll

Weighs heavily on all of us,

But despite that,

You must hear the words

Of "villains" who are evil, or not,

And understand how not all of our minds

Could win out against insanity.
