Well, here is my first post. I’m all giddy inside. Haha. Well, I decided to shoot off with one of my poems. I call it my introduction. It’s a story of a guy who’s really insecure and needs help. he is in disstress and then finds hope! I hope you like it!

staring at the roof.

I stare at the roof,

Wandering ‘bout my mind,

As I look for the proof,

That I haven’t crossed the line.

I turn my head sideways,

But I’m staring into thought,

Thinking in snide ways,

And coming out distraught.

Thinking of people in general,

And consequences of actions,

Into my mind, enter all,

Thinking in small transactions.

So getting up from my bed,

Was not an easy feat,

My heart feels like lead,

But refuses to stop it’s beat.

As my thoughts turn to things around me,

My heart still conflicts inside,

And while my mind argues soundly,

It feels like I’ve already died.

I felt utter helplessness,

And completely bereft of hope,

Surrounded by terrible hellishness,

My life rolling down a slope.

But as I walked aimlessly,

I happened upon a skylight,

Physically, emotionally, my helpless plea,

The answer, wonderf’ly in my sight.

A sliver small thought,

A hope that had been long gone,

Something I had sought,

For such a time, and aeon,

Sunlight pure and clear,

Shining into the corners,

Begone all that which was fear,

Gone inside are the mourners.

Peace now fills me up,

A sense of being whole,

Love has filled my cup,

Making diamonds out of coal.

No more sadness of mind,

Distress has all but flown,

All of such is behind,

No more do I reap what I’ve sown.
