Poem -

my misteke´s i made

suddenly everything is clear 

of where i went wrong

i tried to be a different man

trying to fit in where i didn´t belong,

i hung around with those crazy people 

who i thought where my friends

they brought me down in every way 

and into darkness i did descend,

it took so long for me to realize

that i was the better man

i will try to get my life straight

i can do this i know i can,

with a little bit of hope 

and a little bit of luck 

i´ll get myself out of  this place 

where for year´s i was stuck,

but to win the trust of my family 

this will be the hardest thing 

so much heart ache i did couse 

so much pain i did bring,

but all i can do is try

i´ll show them how i have changed

i´ll show them the boy i used to be 

but maybe for them all this will be strange ,

to forgive someone for what they have done 

sometimes realy isen´t fun 

but you are my fameily 

and i am your falling son ,

so if one chance is all i have 

then this chance i will take 

i love you mom and dad 

and promise this mistake i will never again make .

Oh Paul…I could so relate to the deep and truly heart aching write! This poem is an open wound of remorse.  This write is one of determination to move forward, past the pain.  This write if one of honor.  This write is a dedication and a promise to loving parents.  This write is wonderful!

gone my hero

he looked at me with those eyes of blue
i knew he had something to say
a gentle smile...

empty chair,s

hand to mouth at the kitchen table
empty chair,s for company
not a sole to share a word...

looking out my window

looking out my window at a dancing corn field
reminding me of home
so far away from my land...

Beyond the smile is a barrage of self hate and internal ridicules that make life so lonely sometimes...
