Sunshine and puppies
Where have I gone ?
I'm here , but I'm not
You can't see me ,
Thats the shell of a man whom once visually represented me ,
Now
An empty carcus of meat
A fragile egg shell of a human with
Bones that can crack , snap and splint
Vital organs that will rupture and bleed out.
I am happy and jovial
I am fun to be around
I am the one who loves
I am the one that brings a smile to gun fight
I am the one that won
So where am I ?
I am gone ,
I guess I gave up ,
I'm not coming back .

A poem for Nate
Have I got your attention ?
Rather is that something I deserve ?
I spent my whole life ignorant
Recognition is something that is earnd
See life is so complicated
We are all individuals
I wish I could take away your hatred
Your past and the unthinkable
I could take away your pain
Your sorrow and mistakes
I'd take away your trust issues
Paranoia and clean the slate
I don't believe I'm better than you
As i would struggle but I'd cope
But if it ment your whole again
I could hold on to that hope
You could...

Buried Alive
These are the words of a man who's broken,
Speaking of change but the change is unspoken
I wake alone each morning to an empty home
The silence mocks me , I have no where to go,
My thoughts are my fears and they haunt me , taunt me , tear me apart to my core and it's rotting.
Trying to find peace in my mind is like clawing my way out of a casket
Six feet under and a pressure sealed gasket,
I know it's no one else's fault
I know I can't live on hope
Changing my whole lifestyle is hard
I believe I've been delt my last card
I'm the...

Be A Man !
To be a man,
is not
to bully and push people around,
It's not
about testosterone fueled violence or black eyes at night on the town ,
It's not
to drink beer or silenceing your shame , money , reputation or having a trade .
It's not
about counting the birds that have perched on your pole.
It's not
About football , rugby or golf .
It's about protecting and caring for the ones that you love ,
Sacrificing your wants
Supporting your family
No matter what
It's about loyalty
Whether your single or committed to a...

I don't care
There is a feeling inside of my Soul
A distant memory fading away over the horizon in my heart
Lingering remains of its decaying corps stand like a small monument of what once was
I still faintly remember what it was like to care
It took a smile of courage and a sun beam of hope.
An accomplishment that would spread smiles around the world
The world as I knew it anyway
It turns out that my idea of a world was alot larger than I anticipated
People were not Who I thought they were
The disappointments grew and took away the illusions of hope ...

Should Have Known .
You should have known
That smile you were wearing wouldn't last
That feeling of excitement you had in your stomach was A warning you refused to acknowledge.
Just a taste of the love that you yearn for
Stripped away like the paint on her nails when she changes her mind the next day ,
That high that's induced by nothing but her attention.
You should have known ,
The cinematic romance is as much a myth As dragons and elves ,

I Wish I Could Help you .
I wish I could give you my eyes so you can view yourself as I do
You could see the way your smile brings Life and colour into a room
The comfort in your being , your care-filled heart and mind
knowing that your someone who could give sight to the blind
You would never drop your smile
That big ol cheeky grin
You would see what you deserve and throw your past right in the bin .
I wish that I could help you , I think I need to try,
If you could go ahead and see yourself right through my eyes.

Who I am !
Who I was 20yrs ago is not Who I was 10yrs ago
Who I was 10yrs ago is not Who I am today
Who I am today is not Who I will be tomorrow
Everyday is a new me , every me is A slightly more experienced version of Who I was ,
And this is the only thing that defines Who I am.
To change
I learn
To learn
I listen
To listen
I had to change .

Casino
There is no better place in my city to be alone, everyone is distracted by flashing lights , addiction and alcoholism , at this point in time I am here but not existant , pleading , feeding the pokies , a delusion of pacifying paradise while pushing their pensions .
Black Jack, baccarat, roulette where the rules are set to signify a lie to you ... the machines will cry to you , I don't mean to pry to you but if you try the same dedication to life then you can beat the addiction that controls you ....

The reflections of A lost Goodbye (white lines on the bitumen)
I have driven this road so many times before in the past
I will drive this road so many more times in the future
The rout that I drive never held any further significance for me until .... well
Until I met you.
I remember driving this road for our first encounter
A full tank of anxiety fueld excitment as ,
I drove with you by my side , loving memories of our banter, driving late at night finding comfort in one another's silent presence
I remember driving that road alone , empty in my heart as I manuvered into the worst crash I have ever experienced ... ...
