From This Evil

Thank you to everyone who inspired these works be it through heartbreak, friendship, or a mere passing glance. There are far too many of you for me to ever name, and all are equally important. You have all strengthened me, and taught me to fi nd the secrets of my sadness, my Musou Tensei.

This collection of work spans my developing years as a young adult writer. From my darkest despair, to my deepest loves, and everything in between, these pages contain the poetry and lyrics, the living journey of these times. Follow me to places Im fond of, to memories both friend and foe, and to one conclusion. The distinctions that lie between men all hinge on one decision. Be it by our own hands or by fate: are we borndo we runor do we learnfrom this evil.
