Poet Introduction
There are many trials and hardships in my life.mostly pain and suffering and heartbreak.then there are good,irreplacble memories that I cannot forget.Some I choose to share in poetry,others will stay locked in my mind and die with me.

Mother
O mother,where have you gone?why have you left me searching for you from dusk until dawn?There is a hole in my heart where only you belong.My peace of mind is slowly fading away,as are the memories of you inside my heart.I must hold them tighter so they will not depart.I have lost the memory of what your voice sounds like,when you tell me you love me,then hold me tight.I wish I could hug you and hear you whisper that everything will be alright.I wish you would tuck me in one more time,and tuck me in just right.So the cold wind carrying sorrow could come near.I wish I could find you,I wish you...

The serpent
The serpent took the form of a woman.She lies in wait for another unsuspecting victim.Unfortunatly,my father was one of them.He fell in love with her unknowing of what lies beneath.He tried to make a functional home where I would feel a brief taste of the loving home I had been missing.All he recieved in return was pain and grief.The serpent took one deadly bite of his heart which he had blindly opened.She left him gasping on the floor,blood and tears flowing like rivers.She took everything he had and left him empty and cold.She left him to rot,struggling to get back up again.She is still...

pain
I used to think they had hearts but I was dead wrong.Now my loathing of them pulses through my veins all day long.Seeing them live in luxury with fur coats and diamond rings while I struggle to survive.This toxic environment is where my angry side thrives.They appear clean as sparkling glass on the outside but truly within they are dark and cold.It is this that they always hide.It wasnt my choice to be living here.If they died this very night I would not shed one single tear.I would shout and dance and jump for joy at the thought of being able to do simple things that before I could not...

rage within
For the longest time I have felt something inside me laying dormant deep down beneath the surface as if frozen in an eternal ice age.Then one day the ice starts to crack and rumble as my frozen mind withstandsa berrage of blows from the mouths of hateful,evil souls.I feel like something evil is welling up inside.This internal anger I can no longer hide.The ice breaks and my body shakes as the darkness spreads to consume me within.It took one more hurtful word that broke the ice and I felt it take over without thinking twice.I grab the hateful person by the throat,my eyes filled with blind...

chaos in stereo
I get torn apart when I hear two sources tell me different things.My heart wants to believe the only father I have is on the right path,but the other source tells me he returned to smoking crack.They tell me if he comes here they will send him right back to jail.My heart aches because my attempt to calm the storms around me has failed.The negative atmosphere around me is slowly poisoning my mind.I look forward to the day when I can enjoy a quiet peace of any kind.I hate being in the middle of two sides waging war on each other.All I asked was to grow up in a home with a loving father and...

Awake
At night this place changes,I hear a rustling inside the walls,a random bump in the night.Long winter nights are eerily quiet.So quiet,I can audibly hear my heart beating,which gets louder because I feel like somthing is watching me.I try to drown out the fear with man-made things,but it dosent work because I then feel a cold draft pass over my body,then i think I sense a shadow of movement and I look over but there is nothing there.The pitch black darkness is almost unreal.It has become a part of me.When I was younger,this forlorn place would scare me rigid with terror,but now it almost...

greed
Their greed continues to astound me,its evidence is all around me,laughing at me,taunting me,haunting me.They live like kings,while some nights ive cried so violently under my eyes are dark rings.How could they be so blind?They drove the other children away,they ran away to save what was left of their minds.Their decisions concerning my life made a devastating impact.They buy lots of stupid things while I struggle to keep my sanity intact.It wasnt enough to make six other kids leave in anger?They needed another victim,me.They told the authorities I had special needs so they could keep me...
