“Within the cracks you will find a story – a mask – you hide behind. and so, you feed upon a soul that was never yours.”
People perceive and ruin the images of others to seem less at sin. They lie or distance those they do not understand. These are the worst versions of myself. The ones that people influenced and fabricated to hide the worst versions of who they are. The versions I shied away from, to fall into place, to be deemed normal. This a three-act poetry book – consisting of 93 poems – which speak to this.
Whispered in secret, I, The Worst of All, spoke it for me aloud

About the Author
Bophelo Morake has had an interest in the arts since he was a kid. He first stumbled upon drawing, photography and painting through family and has kept it coming into university. He grew up wanting to do everything including dance, mentoring, singing, public speaking and even athletics. He did them all but what kept him most happy was escaping by writing books in high school. He wrote about gender, sexuality, oppression, youth, fantasy, and self-expression. At the age of nineteen, he picked a career that would help him escape, bloom, and grow in; he became a published writer.
