After Overcoming Depression
Depression has plagued me for twelve years
Love joined in after the first five years
They had played with my emotions and scrambled my brain
No mercy was shown, no rest was taken, just ongoing, relentless pain.
I had to muster all the courage and strength I had to fight back
Which was just enough to fend off their attacks
This was not a battle, it was a war
A war I fought alone because everyone else said I was done for.
I struggled with anxiety and paranoia
Constant mood swings and sometimes anorexia
I lived with heavy feelings of sadness and...

To a Broken Angel
I know an angel
Who loves with a bleeding heart
Who wears a mask to hide her pain
Who tries to fly away with broken wings
I know an angel
Who once shined brighter than the sun
Who was never afraid of any pain, that eventually came
Who now sits in a darkened corner, slowly fading into nothingness
I know an angel
Who I had hurt and betrayed
Who gave me her bleeding heart
And I shred it to pieces like paper
I know an angel
Who had trusted me
Who I abandoned like a coward
When she needed me the most
I know an...

When Gays Abandoned Me
This rainbow bracelet on my wrist
Brings back one reminder of how sometimes life is an illusion
A sort of a poem, to the one I had once held and kissed
We're allowed to marry now and I'm still held in self-seclusion.
I remember the days when we used to hold hands and smile
The days of when we were care-free and safe from danger
When word got out, we now had predators that were dark and vile
Who only existed to beat gays with fists and anger.
Only a few of us took a stand against these bringers of hate
Who constantly attacked us with both...

This Town
The air in this hellhole town
Has the stench of all things nasty
Everyone here always wears a frown
And yet, they claim to be informed and happy.
Bullshit! At all that you are, all that you've become
All of your innocence, kindness, sanity have rotted away
I see through you like a window revealing a corpse, laying numb
As your walking pass me, carrying with you an aura of gloom gray.
But as some may say, there is usually a gem in every shit pile
A person who actually gives a damn, and never wears a mask
Allow me to cut this open, to find...

Pieces of Me
Looking upon a dusty shelf,
Where I last left a part of myself.
In a dark corner it laid, after surviving years of hell,
I hid it away, when everything was thought well.
Gazing upon its dark, grayish tones,
Altered after left abandoned, it weeps and groans.
This part of me was not whole, but ripped apart,
Reconstructed, it resembled a deformed heart.
This heart is neither living nor dead,
The grayish tones were signs of how much it bled.
True love was drained, but still alive,
The sort of true love, that even Hallmark failed to strive....

To Kayla (a poem written for a friend)
A troubled soul, so tormented and tired
suddenly you appeared, the one I always desired.
Like an angel you took away my fears
and listened to my cries nobody hears,
Kayla, so gentle, so divine!
it seems unreal how such a flower is mine.
Our love is so strong and true
my love only belongs to you.
My flower, so fragile and full of beauty
when I feel alone, you comfort me.
Strong, is our love for we.
How free, our love is for we.
Loving an undying love
A love that has surely come from high above.
Heal my scars oh...

I Will Not Deny
In the darkest corner of hell
in the loudest tone of bells
I do not want to deny
all of the things I cry for.
Just know one thing
take my heart and shove it into your soul
I do not know your sorrow.
Take me away
from all the evil and darkness
I want to remain one
but until you come to stomp these demons into the ground
I shall rot in this ditch.
So take my soul away
into the darkest corner of hell
into the loudest tone of bells
I shall state a fact
through my bleeding, broken heart
I had not, and will not...
in the loudest tone of bells

I want to remain one
but until you come to stomp these demons into the ground
I shall rot in this ditch.
So take my soul away
