Well since his mother had died at a early age he had no one since his father later died of aclcohal abuse, so he was adopted and taken away from his brother, later after he tried in school and his new father refused to pay for it he went to his brother and his family, his brother also died of alcohal abuse. He later married his 13 year old cousin which later in life also died. So he couldent really love anyone because he was afraid they would die. He had to put his fellings down so he wrote storrys and poems of what he felt and whent through. Since he was deadly afriad of looseing somone he loved he couldent tell them. He ended up dieing later in a hospital. But his storys and poems still live on.
