Letter To My Family

My voice cries out for you to hear
you turn arround and pretend im not near.
The sorrow I cry for you to change
but it seems to me your heart is out of range.
I try my hardest to be my best,
but it turns out that in your eyes I am just some pest.
So I'll bow my head from this day on,
and let you ignore my cries as your day roles on.
This will be the last time you hear from me,
because my pain is always ignored I'll let you be.
No more voice will fill yor ears,
and my nightmares now become real as I do fear.

Im tired of being the one that dad does take his anger out. I've tried to speak up 
but to no avial he won't listen. My only hope was that you my brother and sister 
would back me up. Though it turns out you could only complain about him when 
he is not arround.  I don't care that you think I am right or wrong in this subject, I 
only wish that you would just pick a side. Agree with me and I'll be the same 
tommorrow, denie me the truth and silence from my mouth is all you'll ever hear. 
I'm tired of being beaten down and it's time for you to help me up. If not you'll lose 
the best thing you ever did have, and that is my voice and my love
Love 
Your own blood
Brandon

Alone and Depressed

Alone and Depressed 

The dictionary states that alone is on one’s own; by oneself, or isolated and 
lonely. Yet even this definition cannot grasp the meaning to one who lives their 
life in isolation. Isolation not only to the world around you but sometimes to 
yourself. Depression tears at you when you least expect it for you have no one to 
comfort you. It’s Never having any one to enjoy the day with or to share your 
problems with. You get so tired of being alone that you sleep, not because you 
are tired but because you try to find a way to make this dreadful day end faster. 
You sleep for the thought that tomorrow will be better. Alone is being in a group 
and being so scared of what they are thinking that you hide mentally so as not to 
leave your self open for hurt and despair, closing all doors that may lead out of 
this eternal darkness.

This darkness here that I call life
revolves around my darkened strife.
It seems as though I may never escape
for it seems all my misdeeds are always playing on tape.
Round and round that tape does go
showing me all the people I once did know.
Pushed away by my blackened heart,
angry at them for the things I probably did start.
Even now as my life and heart did change
im still alone because we have become estrange.
This darkened heart I once had is back
because of the feelings I shoved in this sack.
But the darkness I have is not towards them
even though it would be easier to just blame all of them.
Its towards this life I now must face
and pray that I live out my life with the utmost grace
and never live those days I had of disgrace.

Queen of Nothing

This lady for whom which no one knows
radiates her own outward glow.
She walks around doing whatever she can
just so she may be noticed by her man.
She seems so happy as it may seem
walking around like it's one grand dream.
Yet it turns out this dream wont come true
for the stupid things they do to you.
Yet you go on and let them spit in your face
even still, you'll walk with such grace.
When will the time come when you take your throne
while the tables turn as They weep and moan.
You won't have castles, armies, or wealth
but it doesn't matter because you'll be in charge of your self.
Right now you are only the Queen of Nothing
until the day comes when you find that something.
For it will bring you pride and joy
like a little kid who got a new toy.
This item isn't something you can go out and buy.
Reason being it's your Dignity. It's your Pride.

I love you Mom and i hope you realize it and find your true self before it is too late 
to save. For the loss of you would hurt me more then hell itself.

Hell

This evil place with torture, pain and cries,
a place void of your makers eyes.
Yet this is not the place that i do most fear
to tell the truth the time is now, the place is here.
You see the pain this world does bring,
 the pain and suffering the victums sing.
A song of hate, crime, and malice
while being riped out of their dreamy palace.
We just sit and wacth them while we wait,
wait for our our own maker to welcome us to the white pearl gate.
This hell on earth has us to blame
for we just sit here and watch as evil play it game.
We should do what we can to bring Heaven on Earth
for then we humans will have our rebirth.
They'll realize what we good men can do
and realize what i said was true. 
That hell or not remember yourself
for your kids will one day inherit your life and your wealth.
 
Heaven hell or nothing at all, know that now is real. the one that goes on does 
not have to exist like it does now. so lets do what we can and make heaven come 
true and not this hell that goes on in our eyes. for as i said, what is not corrected 
now will happen again to the young ones we love.

The Love I Once Had

The love I once had
by Brandon Wintergalen

I wander through this darkened place
void of all emotional space.
Looking for some one to help me
some one who can show me
the love I once had..

Ever searching
I find that something,
someone to help me 
who can also show me
the love I once had.

Though he seems alright
even on the darkest of nights
Im not sure he’s the one to help me,
the one to show me
the love I once had.

I think at most he can be a friend,
the type who can show kindness though not in bed.
Yes at times he does help me,
but not the help to show me
the love I once had.

How long must I wait,
to see him come to my gate.
To walk to me with loving arms 
and give me the love I once had.

Eternal Life

I have found the key to eternal life,
a way to end all humanities strife.
This path is here for all to see,
for what in the end will come to me.
For in the end death does await,
to usher me through that pearly gate.
Yet though this I do  find my answer,
where all my thought will come together.
That in the end life will prevail,
and life shall usher down gods finger nail.
For without death there can be no life,
trapping everyone in this eternal strife.
Though through their death they will give life,
and granting them what I do seek, 
a place for the young to grow old and start new lives.

Normal

All of this pain
I suffered with no gain
leaves me crying at night
for what I didn’t do right.
The people I’ll see
there eye’s become daggers to me,
as they find me out 
and what im about.
A mixed up child
in this world gone wild
that’ll spit at those who are different, 
and who stray from societies current.
Yet I’m the one
that you have shun 
that will change the future
and leave you in a blur.
Even though you have shown me only hate,
I'll welcome you through my kingdoms gate
where you’ll never be alone
and your beauty given a chance to be shown.
I’ll give you the chance you never gave me,
a chance to be great for everyone to see.

This is for all the kids that lived their life being the outcast as a child because of 
how the lived. They are people too and must be given a chance to be great. 
Society rewards those students who excel in main stream events but forget the 
ones who aren’t in those groups. For so long dorks, gays, shy people, smart 
people, and anyone who was not in the norm have been put down. Forget the 
way that you were treated for after your time in hell is served your time in heaven 
will be well worth the wait.

Alone In Sin

Here I sit alone at heart
this broken spirit is only the start.
For this darkened cloud now rolls in
blanketing me in my life of sin.
The dreams I have alone at night
haunt me for what I did not do right.
The people I would not help that day
keep me awake for what they may say.
If only I could stop this pain.
If only I could stop chasing people away with my emotional cane.
If only I could stop from going insane.
If only I could get out of this clouds rain.
Then maybe i wouldn't be alone at heart.
Then happiness will usher in a new start.

Pain

A pain
with no gain
where only sorrow will remain
that’s tried to be corrected but failed in vain.
It’ll leave me confused and possibly insane
and mentally scarred because of all of the pain.
The only hope given 
is that I will be forgiven,
for the life I live in
and the attempts I’ve tried.
What must I do
to show I’m still true to you.
What is it that you would like me to be?
the perfect vision of a friend for all to see
or am I that bad that I can never be me.
Shall I be enslaved to your idea that my true self can never be free?
Shall I hide my true self away and lock it away with your emotional key?
Or can I be myself for the world to see.

Letter of Change

This pain in my life
filled with this strife
increases each day
for what I don’t say.

The pain that I see
clouds peoples vision of me,
for the life I live 
and the nightmares I relive.

The things that I do
have no effect on you,
but you beat me down
and you destroy my crown.

I once  ruled my self
with great health and wealth,
but the pain you bring
has destroyed everything.

Why can’t you see
that it is still just me,
the child you all once did know
the child  with the outward glow.

The only difference 
deals with my preference,
the people I love 
that make me see doves.

Not all may not know it
and those who do hide it,
that fact is I'm gay
and don’t care what they say.

That being said
get all thoughts out of your head,
for I’ll still be a great friend
until the very end.
