Overview

"Uncoiling My Corkscrew" is about a little boy who experienced a painful loss at a young age. He is left hurt, confused, and questions why he is here. Is it just to die? He mastered lying and cheating to cope with his grief. He numbs himself with alcohol which leads to further tragedy. Now that he has navigated these traumas he has some truths to share.

Description

Mistakes, Failures, Lies, and a host of other Underlying Issues that are undealt with, will eventually lead to Guilt, Shame, Hiding, and my experience (depression)! A word that is tossed around lightly, but the ramifications of it causes significant impact and sometimes death!

You (Marvin)? I endeavor to say absolutely! Are you serious? I'm glad you asked. Yes! Especially after having many fender benders, and head on collisions, with life itself, and not stopping to access the immediate damage and long term effects of unchecked and unresolved issues or collisions! As a black prideful man or should I say a scared little boy dealing with man issues your taught to keep it moving, and little boys aren't suppose to cry! Now what should I do?

I'm being exposed and my flaws are on display for other people to see. I've failed at securing my career, I've failed at marriage, I'm failing as a Father, I'm failing at everything but looking like I have it together! Smiling and showing up in front of people as if have it together (Pride). Talking the talk and walking the walk, but secretly dying because I dont want to live with me any longer. I WAS TIRED OF FAKING IT! Most people would say your so gifted, (Women) would say I love you, I found a circle that would give me a Mic because what I looked like. It all translated to me as (ABUSE) which to me was norm because I was abused and no one knew.

So how does a talented, articulate, gifted, well-spoken, wise man end up getting on a motorcycle without a helmet at 3:00a.m. and eventually in a hospital bed with a blood alcohol level 3 times the legal limit with head trauma, and a host of scrapes and bruises. That same guy now is secretly contemplating suicide, he's to scared to do it but the thought of it sounds better than the dissapointing life he's living. Until one day he's missing for two days driving around in a blackout state on a bridge ready to drive off. Traffic suddenly stops, he screams and wake up, cries out to God, and 3 hours later in a detox unit for 8 days, a rehab facility for 35, halfway house for 3 months. You Marvin yes. I'M NOT ASHAMED ANY LONGER. IM GUILTLESS. IM STILL FLAWED, BUT I'VE ARRIVED WITH MY FLAWS! I'M GRATEFUL! I AM FORGIVEN, AND I HAVE FORGIVEN! IM NO LONGER ABANDONED BUT RESCUED! I NO LONGER JUST SHOW UP TO LIFE, BUT IM LIVING LIFE. MOST OF ALL I AM FREE!

I pray this will encourage someone's heart, it frees someone, and causes someone to be open up and honest!

I AM GLEASON!
