51/M/Home Learning to put thoughts into words to help with depression and anxiety
Memories from my past blending together. Events in my life, that I try to remember. Uncertainty in the way I think. Moments vanish, gone in a blink. The clouded thoughts fill my head. Dark as blood from when I bled. Evading conflict, my one addiction Unable to separate, truth from fiction Childhood echoes, in my mind I recall. A last grasp of youth, before the last fall. Thinking of how, it could have been. Knowing first chances, can't be relived again

First Chances
On the floor An empty bottle next to me. A hand full of pills that will finally set me free. A fake smile and laugh, to cover all the lies. I wipe away my tears. No! I won't cry. Waiting for an answer.   To the question that I fear My thoughts asking to be heard,   but no one around to hear I'm tired, in pain, I've given up. Will this decision set me free? Or will my soul be lost,   Forever in purgatory The pills still await for the choice that I'll decide It is my choice, its simple live or die My selfishness and pity Causing my heart to go blind Sweet memories of my life and those I love. Coming back strongly to my mind Those few that I love and the fewer that love me I will not cause them this pain or this to be their last memory of me The pills tossed away, Along with the darkness that's inside. I will remember today, As the day, I chose not to die.

Today
What you get, isn't always what you see. I've worn many masks, to hide the real me. Too scared to show, who I really am A fragile child in the body of a man. My day full of pain, my thoughts all wasted Bitter and sour, life's fruit I've tasted But for you, just know, I tried to stay strong Please remember our love, even after I'm gone

Gone
I'm jealous of the sun How softly it caresses your skin Your loving touch Clears my conscious of its sin I'm jealous of the moon How your eyes look deeply into its light Your laughter a soft breeze On a warm summers night I'm jealous of your words Intimately falling from your lips The definition of passion The passion from our first kiss I'm jealous of life I can only live but one It's a gamble you take And yet some how I've still won So many times I've asked Why did you picked me? You answer always the same You and I were meant to be

Meant to be
All races joining together To help protect the weak Voices and cries of outrage For respect is what we seek Violence leads to more violence While cooler tempers try to speak The words falling on deaf ears For respect is what we seek Pay no mind to our skin color If you do our future is bleak We are all of God's children For respect is what we seek We need to rise above this madness The protests need to be heard Senseless killings need to stop Respect and justice is what we ALL deserve

Deserve
If you had one chance to make one wish What wish would you ask? It seems so simple but harder than it seems. A difficult and daunting task. Fame, glory or wealth? Eternal youth would be so splendid. Never getting old. But loved ones lives will have ended. Being able to see into the future? Or being to read peoples thoughts? Would you really want to know? If they liked you or if they did not? Wealth won't make people like you A big house just the same If you want to make your mark Live your life without shame I don't want popularity or extravagance For me a simple wish would do I would wish for peace of mind With that so much more can come true

One Wish
Things happen everyday some things make us cry It leaves only a question And for me that question is why? There's no real answer to this question No matter how hard we try Still in disbelief To only question, why? The outcome doesn't change We push thru with a sigh Tomorrow is not guaranteed We look up and ask why? Only God knows the reason The reason we ask why Put your fate into his hands For his love we must rely.

Why
Tattoo The skin on my body a canvas An artform with needles and ink It was my choice and my decision I don't care what others think The images express who I am It represents moments in my life A koi, a dragon, a geisha The names of my children and my wife It's an ongoing project So many hours on the artist's chair Yes of course it did hurt And no I don't mind if people stare Beauty is in the eye of the beholder And beauty is what I see If you don't like it keep it to yourself I didn't do it for you, I did it for me

Life is so unexpected and your tomorrow is not guaranteed Fate snaps its fingers Leaving loved ones only to grieve Your memories we share and so many tears we have shed The pain so surreal Thinking of our last words that were said We take comfort to know You're not in pain anymore And that you're looking down upon us With a smile at Heavens Door We hope you know That you're missed and were truly loved Your with mom, dad and your brothers Angels now watching us from above
