For 16 years, like the colors of a rainbow, Tony "T-Soul" Hughes found beauty, pain, hope, empathy, inspiration, sadness, peace and enlightenment in spite of his diagnosis. It is a rarity to mentally inhale an individual's private thoughts during internal physical chaos, mind spinning thoughts and uncertainty. T-Soul's poetry and excerpts of his beautiful well thought mind spills carefully onto the page, as he fought to survive and live in peace simultaneously while a warring faction resided inside him. As his body transformed, so did his mind, into a poignant outpouring of emotions. It produced an unyielding higher elevation of self-reflection, admiration, a deeper relationship with God, adorning thoughts of family, pathways chosen, and unfulfilled dreams. Tony unlocked his freedom in truth on the page crowning his life's trials and triumphs self-guided with faith towards an uncertain future.
