My Name Ainat Toby is a poetic autobiography of Myjournaees B. Truth. It is an in-depth look at his thoughts, feelings, and wisdom learned through journeying from being a child growing up in middle-class poverty to hustling on the streets to a twenty-five-year prison sentence. Myjournaees relates on having to grow, mature, and overcome the major problems, issues, and struggles of being black in America, of being in prison, and of being a wayward child in the eyes of God. Myjournaees addresses every issue that a young black man must face as he tries to find his potential, his power, and his spirit in order to be the best in life, liberty, and freedom in America. His poetry and thoughts are based on issues such as hate, love, manhood, womanhood, peer pressure, domestic violence and abuse, sex, drugs, education, role models, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-love, self-worth, music, rape, and, of course, God. Myjournaees poetry exhibits wisdom gained through his lifeas experiences and through the wisdom of Godas words, yet he exhibits the knowledge of universal understanding through poems that reflect the feelings of women and their issues in life.
