I've come a long way and still have miles to go, valuing empathy over sympathy. I'm Sut PhaL, the author of "Life is Free Verse," a book drawn from my personal experiences. It delves into trials, tribulations, and ramifications, defining life through logical orientation. Hardships, environmental, social, and racial justice shaped me into who I am - poetic justice personified. Confronting dark obstacles daily, I creatively penned each chapter in verses. A wise man advised, "if you go by the book, you can never go wrong." I'm not here for a war page but to raise awareness of all systems people may encounter. My story aims to inspire and garner acknowledgment for the change towards a brighter society. While many invest in financial goals, my history reflects an investment in peace. I am the Ghetto Poetic Cambodian American - SutPhaL. "Thank YoU."
