Fear, You Won't Know

I had been under a great deal of depression, and my demons putting me to work, creating this poetry. It touches my bases here, and that’s what I was aiming for. I live with a mental illness. Mental illness is not a joke and can lead some to suicide. Because they were going through something, they couldn’t handle it or couldn’t find any resolution and gave up the fight. I’ve been fighting and battling my demons, but, still, mental illness is no joking matter. Talk to someone, before giving up. Please, Support your local Mental Health Assoc. Mental illiness can be a complete setback. Know your triggers.

May The Days You Wake

I have been searching for many years, 10-15, for some missing poetry. t A dubious publisher from the past that took advantage of at least a million or more poets and poetesses. The material that made them millions without the expressed permission of those authors. And, tried selling these books back to the authors of their works at ridiculous prices. It was perseverance and drive to find at least some of them. I had copies that I kept in an email account, which I lost the password or forgot it. That back then, if you didn't have the exact information, you weren't getting into that address. Today, it is different, which goes to show how far our technology has come. I thank my lucky stars and a machine called the Wayback for coming through, to at least finding remnants of these poems. I'll leave their name out of this, a bad publisher of an inexperienced young author back then.

The day was going fairly well, except for the fact, I seen him as an unwanted guest, but, it was my wife’s brother. I didn’t like the kid, he was 17 1 ⁄ 2 years old, didn’t mean I haven’t love him, but, I didn’t have to like him, at all.

The Other Side

This poem is written about the unstable perpetrators of innocence. it took me two years to write. This happened to my family and it traumatized me the most. I won’t let him win, but I am in self-conviction and cannot find forgiveness for me. It’s been 22 years, it is time to forgive myself. I’ve been writing a story about this tragedy and will be releasing it in the near future.
