I'm one of the survivors of the eqrthquake which occured in Haiti on January 12th, 2010. I'm grateful to share my experience and the inspiration I've gained from the event. Poetry is my life; my life is poetry. Each poem of this book is a true story. Two days after the earthquake I took a bus to the capital of Haiti, Portau-Prince. At the bus station when some passengers were deciding to return home, I said, "I will go find my brothers and other relatives, no matter what it takes." I saw how powerful love is; it made me do things that I never thought I could. I don't know where I will be tomorrow, but I know where I have been. Remembering our mistakes, efforts, regrets, pleasures, dreams, and loves can help us understand who we are and how we can create a better future. As a young man, I feel like I have lived for a long time. My days are not measured by many years, but by many experiences. I've learned that the best way to stay happy is to be grateful, to love, and to forgive easily. This will make sadness go fast and make happiness last.
