It’s me again. I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked, but somehow every now and then you manage to find your way back into my life. I’ve decided that I can no longer continue to have a relationship with you because you’ve slowly destroyed bits and pieces of me and the person I…

To some, it seems, that others do not count;they are seen but do not matter.Pain inflicted which is not observedor perceived by outward measure,does not at all exist. The affliction that is deeply hidden withinis far greater than the observable scarsor bloody, oozing gashes.These secret hurts, like cancerous tumors, permeate carelessly at will. These illusive injuries…
It comes silently and zaps you. It takes you away and leads you down the stairs to gloom. No one knows how deep you go and how hard it is to hold on. It wants to take you in its grip and lead you to your death. It takes away all of your joy, your…
Where was the Laughter Just saw the tears Everyone’s hurting A life filled with fear Too much for a child Can’t possibly cope No help in sight Never had any hope –Anonymous

Tears are universal, They speak a language we all know. They tell of hurt and sadness, And the fear we wish would go. We all cry tears for different reasons, Some from loss, some from pain, Some from being touched as a little girl, And knowing we’ll never be the same. With tears we try…
I don’t know when it started, The beating, touching and kissing, I don’t know if you knew, But there was something missing. You were the missing piece, So I stood up for all, I needed you to stand for me And help me not to fall. You wouldn’t or you couldn’t, Whichever word fits right,…
