Melting

the ache of the heart, the breath of the soul

Beschreibung

Melting's poems express humanity's raw emotion. A chapter each is dedicated to heartbreak, struggle and hope. This had been written over two decades of happiness and despair and uses both prose and verse to take you on a journey, challenging you to deeply connect with your inner emotions. Chapter 1 - Splintered When bad things happen or we lose someone, it begin to weigh on us. Our emotional being doesn't feel whole anymore. The depth of pain and hurt we feel when this happens can be debilitating and may be extremely difficult to overcome. This chapter shows that we all share the same feelings and the only way to truly get through this is to acknowledge these feelings. Only then can we begin to heal. Chapter 2 - Struggle The worst possible thing we can do is to measure our lives in comparison to what others are expecting. And yet, we do this all the time. This struggle begins in our heads and progresses to our hearts and bodies. This toll eventually weighs on our souls. This chapter is about survival and these poems exemplifies what we all have gone through, helping us to relate to others. Chapter 3 - Rise To overcome adversity, you must be connected with something of meaning. To do this, you must truly know yourself and what will make you happy. You must want to sit with this and mull it over until you discover the essence of your being. Some may find the answer pretty quickly. Others may never get the answer. But it's this exploration, this journey that defines us and this last chapter helps you discover your meaning and what you love.

Autor

George Stumpf was raised in Pennsylvania and attended Milton Hershey, a school for children of low income, limited resources and social need. It was there on the farm where he milked cows, paving the way to becoming a distinguished honors student, three sport athlete and entrepreneur. He majored in Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh before finding acting, picking up minors in Theatre Arts and English Lit.

HIs writing career took off with his indie screenplay, "Passed On", which was a quarterfinalist in the 2009 American Zoetrope Screenplay Contest. He followed that up with a sitcom pilot, "My Two Friends", which placed fourth in the 2011 LA Comedy Festival's Screenplay Competition. Currently, his ebook is an Amazon #1 bestseller. Personal note from the author: I am so honored to share Melting with you! This is all so crazy because I never actually set out to write a book nor had I ever thought poetry would be something that would inspire me. Melting is an accumulation of poems written over the years when I was, emotionally, at my most raw. If a relationship ended or if I needed to get something off my chest, I just wrote. Last year, I pulled my writings out from under the bed and friends made me realize that some were actually pretty good... this book is the result. Putting words on paper really helped get me through some tough times and I am encouraging you, especially if you struggling with mental health issues, to do the same, to share their thoughts and feelings. It doesn't have to be poetry or even writing. It can be through song, dance or whichever creative outlet you want to explore. My main intention with this book is to inspire you. I am the perfect example that, if you just follow your heart, anything can be done. I put this challenge to you-- please message me with updates along your journey! instagram.com/meltingpoems facebook.com/melting.poems twitter.com/melting poems
