    About this ebook

    Annotations of a Complex Adolescent Mind is a trip geared to full throttle right from the start and Daniel Bernardo Macaluso is the pied piper for this fearless exploration.
    During those crucial formative years when expressing yourself is key, an often frustrated young man seeks understanding, and his place within a society he feels forced to be a member of. This book offers a rare glimpse into a way of thinking that we all share, but are often too afraid to admit.
    The Annotations delve head first into love and loneliness, anger and power and the struggle to find yourself within the epic journey of growing up. Incendiary and enchanting, this is an exposing debut that assaults the senses and urges you stiffens the sinews.

      CHAPTER 1

      THE LIGHT, THE DARK AND

      THE ETHEREAL REVOLUTION

      1)

      At midnight I consummated with the fanged, black demon

      Infecting me with the seed of Morning Star

      Far greater than deflowering

      More an incineration of a petal field

      Bewildered by my fresh incarnation

      I wandered to explore it, for all my desires came to pass

      My woes had fled and perfect madness became my talent

      My father’s past foreign love was driven to insanity by my disgust of her sight

      My horn had risen to a finely tuned instrument of bliss

      In climaxing, women would turn blind from bubbling aneurisms

      At last, graced by John Lucifer Milton he told me of my heritage

      My purpose to become his successor, the newly fallen

      Accompanied by my hellish siblings

      The path of fire and sin guided me to the lake.

      2)

      Absence from a love which I can’t behold

      Leaves me wondering of a solitary life, I have been told

      Where be my celestial parents, each with a hand on my head?

      Nay I say to both as I cut thy threads

      Satan my father and God my mother

      I’ll not be punished by one nor serve the other

      Hail nothingness, hail perpetual world

      Soon in an instance I’ll have glory and rain

      As I denounce them both, as I cannot be tamed

      With my throne on top, the mountain of valour

      But in death only and in death I’ll have power

      By this I’ll be endowed with the likes
