    About this ebook

    My Demons Were Always With Me is a book of poetry relating to the struggles of lingering negative emotions from childhood. It deals with: addictions, codependency, domestic violence, child abuse, ignorance, abandonment, and religion. It is the child screaming for a voice in a world that demands obedience, dominance and loyalty at the cost of a child's soul. It is the struggle of an adult trying to sincerely grasp spirituality in a world full of people content on clinging to religion.

    Gracie A. Matthews

    Gracie is originally from Long Island, New York. Currently she resides in North Carolina with her daughter Winter, and two felines named Sarafina Della Snowy and Wolfie Von Mittens. As a young girl her first ambitions were in the helping professions leading her to seek an education in social work. However, disheartened by the injustices of the systems, she now pursues her second love which is writing. Gracie is drawn to reading: her bible, the classics, history, or works relating to personal struggles and victories. Although, she ventures into all genres. When not writing, reading, catching crime dramas on T.V. , hanging out with her daughter, you might catch Gracie baking sweets; chocolate and tea are definitely staples in her life.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
