The mind is a powerful tool,
It protects
Like a cage.
That secret,
Unknown for years;
Will be for years,
In solitude.
Without a trace
Not a memory
Of this secret they hold.
But when the mind is ready
To let go and release,
Memories of long ago…
Awaken inside.
Like a stab wound…
The spirit aches.
Like a prisoner,
Fear entangles,
Locked up for years..
Fear,
Anxiety,
Feelings never expressed,
Sentenced to silence.
Now they are free..
Free to be them,
No chains binding them down,
No bars to live behind.
Free to walk
On memory lane,
Free to share
Expressions,
Never spoken.
But what do you do
When captivity
Was a way of life?
Now you are free
But have molded
To living in chains,
Behind bars.
Freedom is like
A whole new culture,
A new way of life.
To explore and learn
This new life,
At times is scary.
It seems foreign
And a little uneasy.
Once the victim,
Takes one step,
Turns the corner,
Waving goodbye
To the prison in the
Mind..
A whole new person,
Begins to come forth.
Strength,
Wisdom,
Compassion,
Begin to arise…
Now they no longer
Are victims inside.
They are a hero that
Survived.
The trauma they hid..
Begins to come forth ..
Reclaiming themselves.
They are the strongest,
You will see around..
The most intuitive and
Enduring people that will arise
To Any occasion.
If they can survive
The memory unfolded,
They will survive throughout there lives.

I want you back in my life again
Without you, life is a sack of pain
Like the burning flames of the stars
Unlike the cool we feel from so far
My heart is burning but there is no fume
All u see is the smiles, hear unreal tune
I cry with tears that cannot be seen
You care no more how I have been
Missing you is just a misery
In my life, there is nothing left to be
I bleed and I breathe my blood
For life without you for me is death
Can I beg you? I am down on my knees
I know my pain you no more feel
Even if I end my life in your name
Will your love I ever regain?
I want you back in my life again
Without you, life is a sack of pain
Even if I end my life in your name
Will your love I ever regain?

It is so easy to live in a world of no wrong.
When blame can be assigned at a moments notice.
To know your part and own it is strong.
While the weak live in their ignorant bliss.
So easy to have eyes that see only what you allow.
To have ears that only hear what you want.
To think that others are why the world has run foul.
Wrongs cannot be righted.
When it is always someone else to blame.
When some always feel slighted.
And wonder why things remain the same.
Be your own person and stand strong.
Let go of the past where you can move on.

It's amazing how memories flood our being
How are past has impaired our seeing
That we may not remember quite so accurate
As we attempt to recall how immaculate
Our live's were in the past.
But when forced to recall the truth
We sigh and are moved
By the experience of others that were so dear
We remember with a certain fear
How little we knew
And how much we abused
The one's we cared about
We cry and apologize for the doubt
That we had in their truth
I'm so glad I found her again and am so amused
How much we are the same
For she says, "...the only thing for sure is change"

I am there again
remembering yesterday
like a savage wind
Been here before
like a boy
now a man
….Here I stand
There again
so many years
have come now gone
what went right
what went wrong
Bitter sweet freedom
from the war
I won
….Here I stand
There again
regret leaks
down my cheeks
a taste of ones own
tears brings relief
Now older wiser
I understand why
….Here I stand

Okay..time to put a stop to this. It's not healthy. It will all have to stop somewhere...
I can’t continue forever beating myself up over you. It will destroy me.
I am much stronger than this. I know I am.
I came this far and I'm still alive. That is a feat in itself.
All I want is not to be alone anymore. To find a person that is affectionate and kind. Caring and supportive. Honest and loyal. They don't have to be perfect. Just more like me.
Someone I can pour my soul into, and who can grant me theirs in return. Someone who I can share my deepest desires and secrets with. Someone who won't look down on me or judge me or laugh at me, but respect me for who I am. What I am.
For lack of a better word, my soul mate.
I will find you, no matter what it takes.
No matter how far I have to go.
Even if I have to walk a hundred miles...five hundred...a thousand.
I will pursue you to the ends of the earth. Even into the very depths of Hell, and back again.
I will tear down every obstacle,
shatter every barrier,
break down every wall that could ever stand in my way.
Try to shoot me down, and I will fly faster, climb higher
and run farther than any man has ever gone.
I will fly where others fear to go,
If it will mean a chance to see you again.
Nothing can withstand me…
I am unstoppable.
I will not, cannot be broken this easily.
I am much stronger than that.
I will do this, no matter the cost.
If my heart and my soul have to be ripped out of my body a hundred times,
five hundred times,
a thousand times...
then so be it. For you, it will be worth it in the end.
It will all be worth it.
And when I find you, I will die to protect you.
For without you, I am nothing. I have no other reason to exist.
There is no limit to how far I am willing to go,
how many walls I will break through to find you.
For you are at the top of the highest mountain,
at the bottom of the deepest ocean,
at the end of the longest marathon,
At the end of the endless stairway.
All roads lead to you, and yet none do.
The path to you is a long and rocky one,
At times, impossible,
But I will not rest, will not stop,
will not sleep until I am yours.
And you are mine. Forever.
Between us, no distance is too great.
For with you, I am strong. Without you, I am weak.
For you are my salvation, my redemption, my savior.
My freedom from torment.
You are the foundation on which I stand,
and you are everything I stand for.
This is my purpose.
I will not die alone, I refuse to accept that fate.
I have a future to attend to.
I will find that place where I belong.
I want it, more than anything else.
I need it.
I have worked for it.
I deserve it.

About this poem:
I wrote this because I wrote it, I felt that way because I felt that way. I know the person who I wrote it for will never speak to me again, although I did nothing wrong, and my entire life was meaningless to her, despite sharing 20 years of it and growing up together. She's gone, permanently, and I'm dead to her. Why? Because I told her the truth. Honestly was my only crime.
From these ashes, I will arise.
I will fix these broken wings and learn to fly again.
I will never stop fighting.
Because of you, I BELIEVED. And I still do.
I know I waited too late,
I didn't deserve you and
now you're gone forever...
But I really did care. Just wanted you to know that.
<3 K.E.H

Man lay broken in the dust
by choices he had made
picked a love he should have left
left her well alone
then when she cast him aside
the tears were all his own
people looked upon him
some with sympathy
others who can say
kindness evaporated
by some just discussed
as he lay in the dust
world so quick to rush in
with stones to throw at us
you and me and anyone
mercy shed for judgement
stones in hands of clay
cast them anyway
yet mercy triumphs finally
as it beholds the view
knows human nature
pities people too
mercy shows compassion
to people made of clay
and sweeps the stones away

My life was complete
But now it's not
I lost it all, because i fought.
He made me alive
now I am dead
I'm laying here
Crying in my bed
Life is worthless
Why should I try
All I want to do
Is lay here and die
It had only been two days
But that is all I need
To get a last chance
Before he leaves
One last chance
To turn it around
Hoping he won't turn me down
All i want to do
Is hold him tight
And make his dreams
Come true tonight
That once and for all
I can make him happy
Instead of screaming, yelling
Making life crappy
I'm sorry for what I have done
This is coming from my heart
I'm just asking
For a brand new start
For you are my life
Without you I am nothing
So give it one last chance
And i will make it into something
I love you too much
I can't let you go
So look into my eyes
And say I love you so.

I love you so very much,
Even though at times I do things that hurt,
I try so hard to hope that you always see,
How much you being in my life means to me,
I am sorry yet again for causing you pain,
That is the last thing I ever wanted to do,
Even when I'm trying to look out for you and do the right thing
I mess up, I am sorry for that too.
I hope that you still know how much I love and cherish you,
Like nothing else in my life gives me the thrill of being loved by you.
So I hope that you listen and see it in my eyes,
This sincere apology that comes with tears from deep inside.
