Poetry Contest

Write a poem describing to me what you were like 6 years ago
So 6 years ago on June 30th 2014 I first joined DUP, which gave me an idea that basically goes like this:
Tell me what you were like 6 years ago were you a lot more different?, were you married?, were you on this site?, did you give yourself to God, etc. was there anything dramatic that changed about you?
Explain in your poem and be specific

Rules:
- 1 poem
- can't be too long
- Must be specific
- Be creative
- Please title poem

PASSAGE OF LIFE

From my heart I open the depth of my mind but from my soul I release my inner spirit as I open the doors to the stairway to the silents of my darkness of who and what I am as a man, but yet from my visions that became images taken from the pages of my lifetime they became my trails and tribulations the real lessons we sometimes have to learn from life but yet from my eyes was the hurt and pain which some came from love and some came from lessons learned from the devils in human skin. But as the feelings became lesser to feel the unseen tears that once fell down my face slowly healed with the passing of time but as I journey travel and walk through the passage of life with its storms that comes with life I not ask question the most highest spiritual soul, as I know he will always be there walking beside me as I walk through the storms with my faith and my trust for he will give me the courage and the strength to stand and walk as a man of skin flesh and blood as a man who has become unchanged because through him I gain my faith and trust.

6 Years Ago

6 years ago
I was in 6th grade
If I were to define that year
It would be
The year I killed myself
Metaphorically speaking
Both my best friends ditched me
And I could barely speak to anyone else
That was the year
I told myself to suck it up
Shit happens
I realized that life wasnt going to go easy on me
That was the year that I was forced to be in a drama production
Turns out, I love theater
I broke out of my shell
That was the year
That prepared me
For the following years
Of shit

GEISHA GIRL

All I can see is fading brake lights as I swerve throughout the cars  
It’s time for late night pleasure seeking in some seedy run down bars
Right now I am unchaperoned, but will commit before this night is through  
Thinking if I close my eyes real tight then I’ll be sleeping next to you  
It's only entertainment, as pretty girls lift up their skirts  
When she lays herself across me, I'm quite uneasy as she flirts  
It's just another pair of tits, these aren’t her lips, these aren't her thighs  
And I’m undoubtedly aware that for sure these aren't her eyes  
 
With a quick spark the fire starts and the smoke fills up the room  
Watching as her face turns now intriguing to gloom  
I know that using her, only makes it seem more crummy  
But I slowly kiss her neck and make my way down to her tummy  
I touch her very softly and she says, “You know just what to do…”  
But the night was closing in so, “It might as well be you…?”  
With pinned out eyes I wonder could you bring these tears to laughter?
Is this who I’ve become, is this really what I’m after?  
Emotional brick walls help me stay out of the light  
Sanity; a full time job but...
I’m done with this crude night

Not love


Fuck you up
As I suck you off
Cuz you beg for more
As you try to score
 
Do you remember
When I whispered to you
No other lover will ever
Suck your cock the way I do
 
But you spat right back
This ain't love here
It's just a fuck
One that lasted ten years
 
I know you miss me  
Cuz there ain't no doubt
My words were true - see?
Six years without

First and Foremost

I was lost in a sea of uncertainty,
The fates almost took my beloved away,
And though I was scared I basked in anger,
Thinking and feeling…I should be the one to die.
I was mad at the world stuck in a rut,
Trying to redefine myself without definition,
My fear was masked with muddled indifference,
But I seriously had to look within myself.
Love alone would not get me out that funk,
I had to come to terms with my past,
I had to understand it’s what shaped me,
Always imperfect, constant and unabashed.
Turning forty required some deep reflection,
Between love, life and career,
I had to really look in the mirror,
And learn love myself first and foremost.

6 Years Ago

Six years ago, I was just someone
Who was trying to find her place
In this world filled with chaos and
Uncertainty everywhere she went.

Back then I was trying to outrun
My old demons and tried to face
That I might not be able to stand
On my feet. Everything was bent,

Twisted and all out of shape back
Then. My friendships were tested
And we all made memories along
The way. There were some days in

Which I thought I would be off track
Or lost forever. My lungs, congested
With yelling, laughter and my song
Made me comfortable in my skin.
