Long Stories Short George Elliott Jr

Growing up on the East Side of Chicago, the streets were home

These are the stories of my life, my struggles with loss

In 2010, I caught the Coxsackievirus, after that meningitis followed

This left me to learn walking, talking, and reading again

Through these years, I have had fifteen surgeries

In September 2016, I was diagnosed with first -stage dementia

That is when I started writing and have not stopped since

My goal one day is donating my time and money for all mental health

All with a poetic twist, I hope you have an open mind
