    are you feeling lost? like the world has turned its back? seems there’s nowhere to run but if you look into your heart open it to those that care maybe they can bring you home and if they can’t just know there's others like you we can all journey together found lies in the...

    • I’ve traveled down south a few times haha. I think we all need a little hope to get us through. And true beauty is how you treat yourself and others.

      Thanks for the read, friend.

    • It’s a lot to carry. I’ve only been in the support role for people struggling, my daughter for one. But I see how heavy it can get to keep up the mask & maintain a facade of functionality. You’re right, it changes people. Im glad you’re no longer that person, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yes, in my case it brought out bad choices, poor judgment, and being a real pain in the ass for sure. I’ve been married going on 19 years. I asked my wife a few months back, “How the hell did you put up with me for the 16 years I was an alcoholic?” Her answer was simple, “Because she loves me.” Then she proceeded to describe the hell I put her through, in detail” I deserved every word of it too. Appreciate you.

    • I think sometimes we get shackled by our passed. I was thinking about that while going through some of my old DUP post. It’s nice to see the creativity, but they were wrote from pain.

      Great ink

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, as a writer I’ve left a roadmap of my life in my writes. Sure, you’ve done that as well, you said so above in so many words. Pain is part of that for me, but it has so many more faces than that. It’s like a ride I couldn’t get off of, the cycle repeats over and over, a vicious circle. Sorry, for ranting. Your comment made me reflect a little, it happens. Appreciate you.

    • The poems written from our pain, are probably my favorite. Not because they are from pain, but because something so raw, and so beautiful can come of it. This was a beautiful ode to your former self, and I’m proud of you, Damian. It’s not an easy feat, but you beat the odds and became a better version of yourself.
      I wish you all the best for the future my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, P.G. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I know what you mean, believe me I do. I like a former songwriting partner in my life used to always talk about if you’re miserable you write better. Don’t know that I believe that theory anymore, I believe it’s if the subject matter strikes a nerve. Then a writer will get raw, even down and dirty sometimes. Thank you, so much for the kind words about me being a better person, and yes even in a better place, I’m truly blessed, indeed. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Angel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s an interesting story, sometimes anything can throw the switch, to obtain that moment of clarity. I still have like 4 beers in the fridge, that have set there for over two years. So I can relate, I keep meaning to throw them out, I just forget they are there sometimes. At first it was motivation to see them, and ignore the temptation. But I’m past that now. I’m glad you got to know your grandfather, the better version of himself. I’m a better version now as well. Thanks so much for sharing. Appreciate you.

    Voices

    I hear the voices from within, they howl like a winterstorm, eery and darkly foreboding.    I hear the screams of those voices, ever present, and forever.    I hear nothing real anymore.  Hear nothing but the unreal. So, I write and remember  how years earlier I had a life.   I had...
