Book Description
This book is about the man deep within me. He’s the man who lives within everyone of us, but is locked in the dungeon of our heart and we would never want anyone to hear his thoughts. He’s the bad side of me that no one thinks I have. Everyone believes I’m the gentle person who just takes the slap on the face and then turns the other cheek. What people don’t know is that if I’m hurt by someone and lose control, then the beast within me speaks and acts out. He’s the dragon that once ruled my life, but now is in a cage somewhere in my heart. He’s the person I could be if he gets out of his cage and comes forth. He’s the one who speaks in this book. He’s the side of me you’d never want to know.
