مكتوب (Maktoob) is a collection of poetry inspired by my time temporarily deployed to Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville, North Carolina. At the time my daughter Sydney Rae had just been born and I desperately needed money flowing into our household. I sacrificed the time that I would have rather spent introducing my daughter to the world, working to keep her fed and clothed. While deployed I faced a lot of situations. I fought a bout with depression and loneliness, I was wrongfully accused at my job, I was faced with sexual temptations that I had never been exposed to. I made new friends and discovered things about myself that I never knew. مكتوب (Maktoob) is a journey through my daily struggles and revelations of self while away from my loved ones and family.
