Door left wide open Sitting on the back porch Watching the waves crash Hearing the roar of the ocean Sun beating on my face Drink in hand Mind not wondering Thoughts are calm At peace A strange feeling for a man once at war Now those memories a distant past I can breathe And exhale […]

Till Tomorrow
Never told them Why would I Time was on my side Next time I would Confident that tomorrow would come To lazy to do anything today Life didn’t bring them a tomorrow I’m left regretting yesterday Thinking about what I should’ve said The truth I’ll never get to tell them And a tomorrow that will […]
Still The Same
All to often it seems like I’m making the same mistakes Feels as the days don’t change I continue to do what I detest Day after day I question where I am in life Only to wonder “what if” on thing of the past Seem to be stuck Having the same nightmares Failing at the […]
Unknown Road
There is a road and it leads to nowhere How do I know It’s a road I take to disappear I take it on random nights When my only company is the moon My only guide the stars I never look back because I’m trying to forget The dusk kicks up and hides my escape […]

Silent Treatment
For silence has become my friend It doesn’t judge it just listens No arguments or reprisals Just there while I rant I pour my heart with tears Silence is there to hear me cry No shame because silence will not care Silence will not tell anyone that they saw me at my lowest They won’t […]
No Break Required
Forgiveness of others I find easer than forgiving myself I understand people are human Mistakes are the human experience at work I’m human and mistakes are part of my experience But where is the humanity I need to show myself Where is the pass for me I never wanted to be perfect But won’t allow […]
Treading Water
I know what it’s like being alone I know that feeling all to well It’s being in a room full of people that love you And feeling utterly hopeless and by yourself They will never understand what your journey was What would they think if they knew where you’d been The safest I ever felt […]
