Naked - Paperback

Naked is a collection of poems written by Author La' Kendrick Thompson during what he describes as his personal "Great Depression." The title exemplifies his life during this time, believing that God stripped him down to the bare minimum, leaving him with nothing but time to reflect.

The poems are broken down into seven sections, all describing the emotions he felt while writing them: Pain, Love, Lust, Awareness, Knowledge, Guilt and Healing. Thompson holds nothing back, showing complete vulnerability. His bravery is shown from beginning to end, sharing his personal struggles with anxiety, depression, suicide, heartbreak, and righteousness. Although his poems have many dark moments, Naked ends on a positive note, as Thompson expresses his desire to grow spiritually, by giving praise and thanks to God. Naked is an amazing collection of poems written therapeutically, in hopes of helping others overcome their battle with mental health.
