Infidelity

Mommy cheated  on my dad,

it makes me hurt, it makes me sad.

He works so hard so we can be,

happy, healthy, loved and free.

He tucks me in he cares so much.

as tears bring forth a trembled touch.

Forehead kiss and story time,

he acts ok pretends I'm blind.

Lights go out the door is closed,

an argument will soon unfold.

I close my eyes and fight back tears,

as words grow loud and fighting nears.

Anger, hurt and broken glass,

a shattered lamp then silence pass.

Time ticks on and whispers grow,

louder words bring shouting flows.

When mommy cheated on my dad,

she kissed a man and hurt us bad.

Sometimes she cries and he feels dumb,

days go by we all grow numb.

Now every body has to see,

effects of infidelity.

Paperback release

Depression is something that everyone faces in life and can be very difficult to deal with and cope. I wrote this as a collection of uplifting inspirational messages to help that cause. In these pages you will find poems and metaphors that I wrote as I faced my own demons and challenges in life. Sometimes, with tears in my eyes I would pour the words out, and these stories would emerge. Day by day I would rise above the depression that has enveloped many aspects of my younger life. Sometimes from a failed marriage or relationships, other times from the loneliness or health problems that we all will face eventually. From loss of a loved one, to feelings of failure and shortcomings. Life is full of adversity, anxiety, and so much pain that can and will get you down, if you focus on it and allow it to take hold. I am now a firm believer in the power behind positive mental thoughts. After a near suicide of my own, I awoke with a new passion, a realization of my own mortality and that life is precious, and even in my darkest hour there is light everywhere. Make the choice to look and see it. Be a light for others! When we lost Robin Williams I knew that suicide was more of an epidemic than I ever imagined. Arguably the funniest man in the world, was that hurt, that sad? And no one saw it. Yes I thought, there is a need for these up lifting messages and metaphors that many can relate with. So, I have decided to share my life work and inspirations that I have found along the way with hopes it may bring relief to others in need.

Endless Highway

Endless Highway

Driving down the highway but I can't outrun your tears,

you leave me feeling helpless, hopeless, lost and full of fears.

I try and gain composure as I take this aimless drive,

the many miles, hills and lakes just seem to come alive.

Nature and serenity  do wonders for my soul,

they a bring an equanimity and help me gain control.

When life is full of chaos and my mind is quite a mess,

or when I find that loving you is bringing me distress.

When others try and help me but I have to do it my way,

I grab my keys, pick up my life, and drive this

endless highway.
