Eyes Wide Shut PT2

I very small fraction of the love I possess for my kids, and how I die a little every day.

Like a mighty waterfall,My tears are never ending,Your daddy wants to save the day,But who am I pretending,It's me against the world,You're both caught in the middle,Life is hard to understand,Often harder than a riddle,I'm so proud to be your Daddy,More so every day,I'm so sorry that my mistakes,Are the highest price you pay,I'm happy that we talk,Daily on the phone,As a Daddy i'm sad,Because you're almost grown,An unbre...

Grandma

This is for my Grandma. From one poet to another.

You were the greatest woman,To ever walk this earth,Because of you I was blessed,From the moment of my birth,You truly meant the world to me,And after all these years,Every time I think of you,I cry as many tears,Mom never gave me the gift,You sent when I turned ten,The feeling that I had that day,I never feel again,You wrote me a poem,I broke down in tears,To find out you wrote poetry too,After all these years,We write e...

Affliction

Im clean and making changes for a better life.

A million dollar smile for you,Not a dollar to my name,Looking back it's obvious,I'm the only one to blame,I'm proud to say i's sober now, I have been for three weeks,You will never see my pain,Or the tears stream down my cheeks,I'm sorry to the ones I love,For they have hurt the worst,I realize now my souls been lost,My life was never cursed,Looking back so I can see,Exactly where I've been,Promising myself my life,Won't...

Broken Bones

A small piece of my past

I'm still trying to figure outWhat I have become,I used to get so high,Everything was numb,A lifetime of memories,Many have now faded,I didn't plan to live my lifeAbsolutely jaded,Repeating the apocalypticHell of yesterday,The smallest taste of HeavenIs the biggest price we pay.My own super highway,Destination Hell,I wish I had a dollarFor every time I fell,Searching for my purpose,But what did I find,I've created my own...

Daddy's Baby Girl

A Poem for my Baby Girl

I know that you're thirteen now,You're a beautiful young lady,Although we stand eye to eye,You'll forever be my baby,I know things are confusing,Our lives are upside down,Always keep reaching for the stars,With both feet on the ground,You're as beautiful as the sunset,On the California Coast,I'm so sorry daddy's not there,When you need me the most,I'm sorry I won't be there,I will miss my chance,To dance with my Angel,,At...

A Different Kind Of Pain 2

My journey continues

Shadows fall over my face,I now walk all alone,You were all that I had left,You left me on my own,I will keep on fighting now,Till I take my last breath,I'm walking through the valley,Of the shadow of death,Life has beat me down again,A man that is depleted,A man can always be destroyed,But will not be defeated,My journey will continue,My path is always black,The only thing I know for sure,Is I'm never coming back.

Lost and Frowned

Being lost in life.

A drifter that does not belong,With no purpose in life,I pretend it doesn't hurt,But it cuts like a knife,Life for me is looking grim,It will not be the same,I thought I had it figured out, But life is not a game,With no way to afford,The price I have to pay,There is no other option,There is no other way,A lifetime full of yesterday's,Regrets they overflow,How can I be lost,When I have nowhere to go.No one knows the pain,...

Reflection

Taking my final stand

Looking back on wasted years,And countless bridges burned,Another chapter nears it's end,The page has finally turned,My life seems to be affected,With every breath I take,Riddled with regrets and sorrow,Awaiting another mistake,I can't regain the time I've lost,And still continue losing,My thoughts are getting clear again,I wont go back to using,I'm not afraid to take a stand,I vow I will not fail,I'm picking up the piece...

Relapse Of The Demons: The Takeover

The fight for getting clean.

Everything feels better now,But everything is worse,I am the one who chose my path,My life is now a curse,My path is full of pain,Lined with the broken hearted,My demons whisper in my ear,They're only getting started,Locked up inside this Hell,I've created my own prison,Very few have made it out,The Darkness has now risen,Echoes of the fallen fade,I can hear them crystal clear,Memories of the many times,I've cried a milli...

Steal Your Pain

Written for a beautiful person with cancer

I see you around town alot,I'm still nervous when we speak,I want to help you if I can,The radiation has made you weak,I am no one special,But I'd save the world if I could,I have done alot of bad,Now I want to do some good,I pray for you every chance I get,Life is so unfair,You're such a beautiful person,I know you miss your hair,Since I wrote this rhyme,You have passed away,So I added a few lines,There's some things I n...

Relapse: The Fall

My War against drug addiction.

I have nothing left to give,Giving up never seemed so real,The pain has now consumed me,There's nothing else I feel,I cannot point a finger,I'm the only one to blame,Memories are all fading,Nothing stays the same,I have not slept in seven days,My body is so weak,I'm half the man I used to be,I should be at my peak,I know it isn't death I seek,But I deserve redemption,A get out of Hell free card,Or maybe an exemption,I ref...

Relapse Of The Demons

I lost the battle but I'm still in the war.

I'm not sure how I got here,But as the darkness falls,I can't believe I relapsed,I can hear my demons call,The guilt and disappointment,And a million pounds of shame,Everything goes numb,And I forget my name,I'm running from my past,Your tears crash I'm to blame,Everything is different,I'll never be the same,Sickened by the life I lead,Am I too far gone,Echoes of what my daughter said,"Dad keep holdin' on",My tears are ne...

Goodbye Dad

This is for my Dad... I hope he likes it...

It's been about eight years,Since you passed away,Although we never knew each other,I think about you every day,I remember the first time I got locked up,You said "boy that ain't the way",I'm sorry I'm not the son,You wanted me to be,Although you never said it,I know your disappointed in me,I wish we had more time together,But mom kept us apart,She made me believe some awful things,She lied right from the start,Since you...

Just A Dream

My Fiften Minute's of Happiness

I opened my eyes this morning,And to my disbelief,I was smiling and happy,What a sweet relief,My kids were in the kitchen,Getting along just fine,Everything was great,It warmed my heart and mind,I head off to work,How I love that place,I stopped for just a moment,Let the sunlight hit my face,What happened next,Is difficult to explain,The river broke the Dam,And flooded me with pain,I realize I'm not happy,Haven't been for...

Forgotten

Poem #3 about the year I spent locked up for a crime I didn't commit.

Come and take a ride with me,Let's see how long you last,It's the never-ending story,It all begins in my past,Imprisoned for a crime,I didn't even do,This is just a portion,Of the Hell that I went through.You have to learn to sleep,With at least one eye open,Locked down every single day.Daydreaming, wishing, hopin',Daydreaming about my babies,That I may never hold again.Wishing I could turn back time, I found the strength...
