Troubled Souls: What about Us - Silent Screams
Troubled Souls What about Us Silent Screams Author:David Jones Troubled Souls is a story about frustrations, hopelessness, ignorance, injustice and the inability to be heard most of my life, no one would take the time to even listen. It's a story about pain and suffering and my quest for some sort of relief, as well as some sense of peace and understanding. This is about a family that was dysfunctional not ... more »only because of the social conditions but also because of the emotional poverty, selfishness and resentment. Most importantly a hopelessness that would run throughout the souls of each and everyone of my siblings as well as my environment. We would all become a product of our environment, an impoverished world of racism ,violence, drugs, etc. A division that not only divided black and white but rich and poor. A plague that would reach all of America in one way or another. Troubled Souls is about lost values and dreams, a need to become numb to the injustice and unfairness, and to escape from within. I would turn to drugs and alcohol for many years, unable to live in my own skin, ashamed and afraid of reality.« less
