Words are thoughts
I cannot speak so I write
my feelings because I am
sometimes unsure of
everything else except
my poetry and sometimes
it is like the wind that
changes direction all
of the time.

Depression can be
a poets silent death
but myself I  choose
new beginnings because
one must turn tragedy
into tenacity and make
new starts playing
new parts.

Mistakes mean you're
trying so don't be
too ******* yourself
because there are always
plenty of people willing
to do that for you so
just do your best and
surrender the rest
while turning your
attitude into gratitude.      Jon York      2014
