Joji Boy is the fifteenth entry from the book, The Helpless Romantic, by Travis Salguero. This book is a collection of journal entries presented as poems that give you insight into the Author’s struggles with addiction, mental illness, and his journey overcoming them.
This is for my little puppers, even though he cannot read.
I will make sure to let him know how much he is loved and cared for every day.
Fur ball, full of mischief and energy,
Running for his life at two am.
Three am.
4:45 am.
Your little body pushes way harder than when I was young.
Your hazel eyes give me the most warmth I have ever gotten from a canine.
Bites, scratches, and several cuts later, I am still in love.
Even with all the accidents and mistakes in the world adding up,
I will always call you my Joji boi.
