The Human Aspect of Samuel

I barricaded my emotions behind aggression and violence to maintain my respect. Growing up I was exposed to the crime lifestyle through my brother and I slowly slipped into myself. In my pursuit of respect, money, and the life I saw around me, I started losing myself. The loneliness grew with the aggression and violence, while my emotions seemed more and more distant until I felt completely lost.
