Lashing Out

I don't know why I am angry

I don't know why I am blue

I don't know if I am happy

I don't know what to do

Am I just a mean person that scowls at the world

Breaking the bonds that keep me

Lashing out at whoever, whenever

Cynical, Hateful, Mean Spirited

Sprinkeled with just a hint of compassion and humility

Events not under my control

Changes that were unforseen

An anger wells up from deep within

Something, Somehow, Someway

Burning Books

He is a little man hiding under the guise of a religious leader, which makes the entire situation even more ludicrous. He can only express himself and gain his moment of glory through hateful and enciteful actions and deeds.

Burning the Koran does nothing but spread a message of hate to the entire world. The impression of America will be diminished even further by this one mans selfish actions.

If you have to arm yourself to defend your actions, and every important leader in the world is condemning your planned activities for 9/11, then maybe you should rethink your position.

I question the wisdom of your followers, and I also question the integrity and validity of your pulpit. What God fearing congregation condones the use and spread of hate, and a hate filled doctrine?

I only pray that you will see the error in your logic and put an end to this madness.

Dad

Dad

When I needed you most, you were there
When I needed advice you would give it freely
When I needed someone to listen to me you always had a willing ear
When I needed a role model all I had to do was look to you
I learned from you the importance of taking care of family
I learned from you to develop a solid work ethic
I learned from you that I am not the most important one
You held me when I cried, you comforted me in my sorrows
You praised me when I had my glories
You stood by me in my failures
I am
Proud to have been your son

I am certain that I speak for all of my brothers

Blindness

I couldn't have said it better myself, these thoughts I have.

A snippet of lyrics from "Three Doors Down", When I'm Gone.

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There're secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Or maybe I'm just blind...

Pain

I shed a tear for my memories tonight

As years went by I lost my sight

Lost my way and caused great pain

Now each day I try to explain

I try to understand

I try to forgive

I try to trust

I shed a tear

Thoughts

Words of wisdom escape my mind
Painful memories are so unkind
Hardened by strife, Tempered like steel
At times my thoughts are so surreal
Vivid dreams and blurry days
So many hours pass by in a haze
Questions without answers, Bound by faith
A ghost of a human, A living wraith
Blessed by grace, Yet cursed by sin
A boundless spirit, Trapped in a pen

Clouds

Darkness decends and the shadows grow long
Feeling the pain in a love torn song
Thinking my life has been a waste
All my decisions have been made in haste
Two paths to travel and one of them is wrong
Without a guide I stumble headlong
The mind is seldom willing and my thoughts are uncontrolled
Words cannot seem to console
I'm being chased by demons and I cannot run
I stand like a stone
Confused
Alone
Weary
Very little joy in this life do I find
I am certain I have been left behind
Why I was brought forth I will never know
Now I patiently wait til it is time to go
