Bittersweet
I am lost inside; a thought,
Aimlessly it wanders nowhere,
My life is one of suffering
Body and mind breaking apart.
Waiting, wishing; for different,
Standing at the edge of the cliff.
Waves come crashing on broken bones.
Is my reasoning enough?
Will I fall beneath the waves?
Or save me from my recklessness ...
Or will you turn the other way?”
People never die,
In the name of suicide.
They die from loneliness and sadness
Everyone should know that’s why.
No one knows my heartache,
It...
Aimlessly it wanders nowhere,
My life is one of suffering
Body and mind breaking apart.
Waiting, wishing; for different,
Standing at the edge of the cliff.
Waves come crashing on broken bones.
Is my reasoning enough?
Will I fall beneath the waves?
Or save me from my recklessness ...
Or will you turn the other way?”
People never die,
In the name of suicide.
They die from loneliness and sadness
Everyone should know that’s why.
No one knows my heartache,
It...

Mother of God
A Mother Of God,
See’s the light in everything.
Loves without judgement,
Satisfied with all blessing.
She is strong,
Patient, her love is true.
Carrier of heavy burdens,
So you don’t have too.
She has no fear,
Has a sense of calm.
To help her know just what to say,
Her voice, it says it all.
Her struggles taught her to be brave,
God taught her about forgiveness.
When everything comes crashin,
She’s out giving second chances.
She’ll bring you comfort,
When life seems to fall apart.
As god instilled her...
See’s the light in everything.
Loves without judgement,
Satisfied with all blessing.
She is strong,
Patient, her love is true.
Carrier of heavy burdens,
So you don’t have too.
She has no fear,
Has a sense of calm.
To help her know just what to say,
Her voice, it says it all.
Her struggles taught her to be brave,
God taught her about forgiveness.
When everything comes crashin,
She’s out giving second chances.
She’ll bring you comfort,
When life seems to fall apart.
As god instilled her...

Introduction Through My Complex Mind
Dear Diary... This is "My Bi-Polar Mind"
We all have a story, some happy, while others endure tragedy. I want the world to understand; we’re not a disease...there is no cure, I hope that showing my view of someone who has lived and struggled, even now, will help others be more compassionate to the more vulnerable. All I ask of you is to keep an open mind, lock up your judgements and realize we are still human beings. We have feelings like everyone else. As the human race we need to realize the facts. In your lifetime you WILL experience it, could be from someone that has it....

Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary
My love for you grows stronger,
each day and year gone by.
I know you feel the same way,
I can see it in your eye.
It's the little things that matter,
you are the sweetest man I know.
It's an honor to be called your wife,
You're more then I wished for.
There is no one in this world,
that can or will replace you.
Love can conquer anything,
it made our dreams come true.
In all the years,
you never left my side.
So Happy Anniversary hunny,
soul-mate, best-friend...
Love Of My Life!!!

A Marriage is...
A promise, a pact you make for all time.
celebrating love, the biggest chapter in your life.
Built on love, trust and understanding
only seeing inner beauty, everlasting

Knowing when to listen even when you know your right. Knowing when to walk away in the smallest fight
Sacrifices taken when you hear those words I DO.

A Soldiers Story
I spoke to a man
Who fought on the front line
he told me many stories
He told me of his change in time
standing trapped in endless visions
And the sounds when they attack
him drowning in a bloodbath
while carrying comrades on his back
With each breath
The smell of sulfur lingers
with images of blood and pain
He collects the tags among the fallen
They did not die in vain
Burning towns and villages
Blood-stained ground, oh! the slaughter
Of the Innocent women and children
fathers and mothers
...

Family Tree Has Fallen
Since the day you passed away,
the family tree has fallen.
I try to keep myself together,
for the family I must be strong.
He left impressions on so many,
by the selfless acts he made.
Always there to lend a hand,
or make somebodys day.
He had the biggest heart,
and a laugh to make you smile.
He was always there to be of help,
he always went the extra mile.
When I look up into the clouds,
or cheers your name up high.
I always hope your spirits free,
So all I ask is just a sign.... ...

OCD - Through constant repetition
I'm a living disorder
Ill wear you out, debilitating
Ill bring chaos, disorder
I go by a name
O.C.D”
I try to keep it together
But I live with a curse
That makes me act crazy
I guess it could be worse
I try to keep it together
When my world is out of place
Thinking up the many scenarios
Like will they live another day
I try to keep it together
But Im tired of being certain
Tired of seeing on and off
Tired of buttons and switches
I try to keep it together
When things do go as planned
As i seem...

Autism - A Story About A Boy
. They live in a world you may not understand but their love and affection trumps any inner imperfections.”
I spoke to a mother
she grieves of her son
he’s just a boy with a smile
with love for everyone
first time we met
his arms were wide
he asked for a hug
I broke down and cried
I did what he asked
he’s just a boy, doesn’t know
he’s different then most
yet he'll be judged till he’s old
got the world ahead of him
but he'll be stuck in a place
like a permanent dream
where no one can relate ...

Secrets, lies... our history
Life has many secrets,
Its a mystery in its own,
Searching in all those places
Finding proof, were not alone.
surviving a world, full of chaos
We take comfort in anything.
Til the day you learn you have no worth
The truth is far more frightening.
Seeking ancient history,
exploring through deeper minds,
hoping all the work we done so far,
will help us find those unseen signs.
Sunken City's found deep within,
gives us promise were right on track,
then deception comes with other views,
with this it holds...

Mothers Day
A truly Great Mother makes a lifetime of Sacrifices
She’s generous to all, stealing hugs and kisses
Creatively handy, inspiring mentor and thrifty shopper
Her heart radiates heat, warming all that surround her
She is strong like the worlds pillars of Strength
Continuously humble even if wealth is what’s made
Her love is pure, of the true rarest form
Nurturing side to tuck you in then comfort you to keep warm
Shoulders strong enough to carry many heavy burdens
A nurse to ease pain or cure that sudden sickness
Provider to her kids earns her this...

Capturing moments
Pictures they capture our moments through life,
Like the day when you marry your husband/wife.
Helps to relive those memories like a story,
To capture our hearts or revisit OLD history.
A picture could be that of a loved one,
Someone you've lost a treasure you found.
Remembering last words “I Love You”,
Then carry their picture, so they will guide you
The memories you have live on within us,
Emotions can become real through a picture we trust.
Sometimes a picture is a memory we erase,
Throughout life we make new memories to...
