Отрывок из книги

Jennifer Williams for being a brilliant muse; for having lived this life alongside me, and for having relived it all over again each time I finished a poem and Facetimed her to read it aloud. You are my best friend and always will be. Your unwavering support is unparalleled. I love you to the moon and back, my sunshine girl. You are my favorite person.

Daniel Jones for allowing me to stay in his home for the summer in order to clear my mind and write this. You are my oldest friend and have never let me down. Whether we were six and playing on the playground at Hodson Elementary School, thirteen and hiding in sewers, or twenty-one and meeting up in New York City, you have always remained a true homie. I love you and am eternally grateful for you. You can call me anytime, anywhere, and I will answer.

.....

But other than that, there isn’t a whole lot I can remember from those days

I think when I got sober it all got hidden away
