Witness.
The empathy and isolation I felt for someone in pain.

it has been one year since Lyn's daughter, Addie, passed away at age 32. another angel fallen to breast cancer.
Remove The Pain
As I tried to write this the way 'I' wanted it to go,the words would stop flowing but when I took my 'self' out of it,the words resumed flowing.It made more sense to those grieving than to myself and they loved it saying that it accurately describes them (grieving mothers).
I AM Coming Home

In memory of Jesse
My oldest son Jesse hung himself on 10/2/2005. A loss that I will never get over and the questions remain today. I miss him so much at times I cry alot. It is the memories and the birthdays and holidays that make it the hardest. Each day that passes he is in my heart and mind. Just wishing I had that one last chance to tell him how much he meant to me.

Broken
The one friend I had, who promised she'd never leave me like all my other friends have, lied. She left me. She deleted me from facebook, blocked me from Deviant Art, and just because I have had a hard time these past 6 years finding work. She assumes every single city/state is the same and everyone can get hired if they beg door to door. Friendship is not something you find in a store isle with a price sticker on it...you care about people because of who they are, not for what they have or don't have. You care because you have their trust and they're willing to tell you the deep dark secrets from their lives, not because they pulled money out of their purse to buy your affections. I must admit, she was my last remaining friend. So, I did cry, and hide in my own little emotional shell and I don't know if I want to come out again. Not if it means, more people leaving me.
I Lossed Another Fool.
Don't want to believe this is the end. Too much and too complicated to start again. Every single love seems intoxicating, but for that feel good always ends with heart breaking. Scream out for you to hold me through, but it seems yet again a
Alone
Just relized I've been in this dance solo, since you let go of me I've felt way too low. I've learned to work around lifes curves myself, while you turned your back, insulted me, but i grew stronger. Mad and out characther when your presence
When The Reaper Comes For You
Are you next on my list?
Water, Trees, Wind, Emptiness
This is a (probably bad) translation by myself of a poem I wrote in my native tongue. I don't know if it even becomes anything near to a poem in English. But I post it anyway.
Making a Choice
This poem is about suicide or thoughts of wanting to kill themselves or harm themselves or others. There are many reasons people tend to commit suicide. Down on life, relationship problems, bullied or abused both mentally and physically. This short poem is meant to anyone who might be thinking of hurting themselves or anyone else. The person in this poem is crying out to God to kill him, he cries out all night long and cries through the night. When he see's the sunrise he realized God din't kill him. So he was angry at God and yelled and screamed at him. He wanted to know why he didn't kill him. And God told him he had a choice as did every human he made. He could harm himself and his soul lost forever or he could recieve his gift and join him in heaven. What will your choice be?
Hero Worship & Mortality
Johnny Callison was a star right fielder for the generally hapless Philadelphia Phillies of the 1960's. As a baseball-crazed youngster, I idolized the gifted left-handed slugger. My trusty transistor radio was tuned in to all Phillie game broadcasts
Darkness Welcomes Me.
I sleep some and then I wake. Wake is asking and questioning. Shall I go or laugh at the questions? The feeling with the question or the feeling that keeps me here! I do not dream, I only feel. There is no color or faces, it is just the feel
Remember (Happy Happy poem) LOL
Remember me as you pass by, For as You are now so once was I, as I am now so you shall be, prepare for death and follow me.
The Great Adventure
What great adventures lay beyond This world that we can see One step outside this world we take When death to us comes near We should not with fright greet The harbinger of death But gladly embrace all he brings On this brand new journey beg
My Mind
Where is it gone, come back to me now. I'm lost without you, I don't know how, life will continue, but not sure I can, I need you so badly, I'm only half a man. Your loss is everything, I hope it wasn't only a fling, return to me, and I
Together forever

I know that i'm not the only person to lose a loved one so i know my jon would agree with me when i say, that this is for all the people who have loved and lost. x catra
A Day On The Beach
Warm, inviting Your beach calls out to me A cool breeze whispers of your presence I turn to look but you're not there I turn again and walk alone Another breeze whispers your name And you are with me once more
PEACE
WROTE THIS AT THE LOSS OF MY MAM...BEST FRIEND WHO MADE ME WHO I AM... SHE WAS AND IS A GUIDING LIGHT IN MY LIFE
A Shadow To The World
I wrote this poem, not really for myself, but for a girl who feels like she has nothing to look forward to anymore and just... feels completely empty. In the end it talks about a new life about to be born, when in reality, you'd think that meant a baby or something... Nah, it basically means death--turning into something beyond our world right now, like an afterbirth kind of thing.
TO MY LATE GIRLFRIEND
to my woman who means a lot to me till her untimely death....
" It was only a dream but it seemed so real"
Seems like only yesterday, We were like brothers. You were bigger than me, Always watching out for me, Protecting me from the others. Meeting you here seems so real, Im sorry that its the only way. I fold my hands and close my eyes, Oh my

just something i wrote along time ago for people and family to ponder upon
Dark Night
Twenty-four dark years rain down on Batman’s cave and bullets cloud summer. Pandemonium! Life’s delicate balance lost. Summer tears stream down. I am not surprised, says son's mother, reported. Summer reign shocks world.
"Let me go"
Let me be not the anchor that keeps your heart, the ship at a port of misery. As I sail away upon the seas of the after life, may hope be the wind that kisses my sails. Watch me go into the sunset not with tears of loss but with a smile that
The Statue ( Cemetery by the Ga Univ. Stadium )
I pulled out this picture of a beautiful young woman who was made from her picture as a statue after her death in the early 1900's. The sculptor made her taller than her real life but she was beautiful, and you had to go behind a huge marble wall to walk up to her ... it was unusual but get photography..so I pulled out this picture of her and wrote an imaginary poem.
No Title

Rules For Grieving
Rules For Grieving There are no rules for grieving, For it's a fight against believing In God and in yourself also, Sapping your will,it won't let go. It is a fight for heart and soul, To take back what Satan stole, For he will confuse w
There Is A Rainbow
