<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You changed over the
years<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this left us many a
day full of tears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your smile does not
heal anymore,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">your words…. Echoes<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">missing the substance
they once had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your thoughts, too
focused on yourself<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and most of all lost
as parents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You had such great

Poetry is a way for me to get inside my emotions and thoughts, much like assessing your subconscious with active words. Writing has always been a way for me to explain my thoughts, concerns, friendships, things that have happened, and love. What I could not say or feel on the outside I could write about from the inside. I was 13 when I began to write prose and shortly moved to poetry. It was a succinct way for me to get my thoughts across rather than some ballooned paragraph. It has been a great way to express my purpose using alliteration and metaphors to really bring out the true hidden thoughts. Writing, yes, is an escape but it is what makes me truly love life, people, and all the surroundings with a passionate feeling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many things inspire me to write and for the most part it is the relationship between me, people I know and my thoughts about them.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in light i exist and in darkness, i am gone!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">what am i searching for?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">when i have nothing else to search for!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">surrounded by all sides, i try my best to survive,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but i have only 2 hands!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i run, i run as fast i could,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">till i have no breath and no roads left,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but i end up where i started from;</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">drowning in my bloodshed tears,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">searching for a place where i belong,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i stand alone, wandering and wondering</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What am I supposed to do?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">out of sight</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and beating heavily </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">as the stars twinkle </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">bright.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gone are the fears of fallibility</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">even as I am feeble</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in my thoughts,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">my heart throbs lightly</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and hold on to those things</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
