The Hell I Carry

It’s a first-person account of long-buried memories rising to the surface and forcing the narrator to relive decades of pain. He describes carrying scorching secrets from childhood, living with flames that consumed his mind while he pursued a life devoted to destruction and chaos. He names those he blamed: his mother, the men who raped him, and a woman who refused to love him back. Confronting the fallout of those choices, he finds the only clear reflection in the mirror is himself, and he must reckon with that realization.
