When hope leaves you 

I sit here and reflect upon my life  I question my emotions  I question my decisions  I question where I am  How did I get here  Where do I go  Back to the familiar pain  Or forward to something  That may be the same  I feel the panic as it rises  Unsure which way to … Continue reading When hope leaves you 

Those who stay beside you

No one knows  How the story goes  In the end  Your life is your own  If you keep on fighting  You will see  That happiness is there  In all the people that care  In those who stay beside you When the world falls away  Those who stand with you  When you need them most  This … Continue reading Those who stay beside you

The Lion

I have become a lion  I sit as I wait for dinner to walk through  The valley of darkness is where I creep  I fight with sorrow  I fight with rage  Someone opened the latch  I stepped out of the cage  Now I stalk my prey  The ones who attack the defenseless  The ones who … Continue reading The Lion
