Life's Monsters

being born started it awakening amidst fire heat, I prefer cold homeless, what we had, is gone broken family moves on parental split cries leaves divided broken souls our goals, torn, unfold illness kicks in, worrying two boys, so young amidst such sprightly playing I tall grass lies hidden dangers out stretched hands protect such pain, excruciating crimson flow fountains now thrive monsters, leave us now two boys, so young amidst such Monday's we so loved until we ran, uniforms yea! I'm small, he runs much faster boom boom, please slow down corner turned, I'll catch up I view him, slam, gone road reached, I'm scared to turn now seeing, bloodied trail, tears Paraplegic, he we move on, carry on, strong sadly, Billy's gone three become two, are we through our tomorrows we await Quietness abounds two reft, illness takes, one left State spared, no one cared his last abused, now confused life's thrall thrown, never grown, blown!

A VERY SAD POEM, EXPRESSING TRAGIC LOSS AND ITS TROUBLING AFTERMATH. Sorry that your young life experienced such tragedy my friend. Your poem is testament to your character , endurance and poetic talent. A7 I was 15 when my dad died from cancer. It marked me for life.

One of the many reasons or characteristics that convinced me on why I see and I can say, you are a wonderful person James Fraser is on how you surpassed or overcome the onslaught of trials that rained upon you... We all can never change what we had done in the past but I believe(and this in my own opinion) that what's more significant is how you became after such obstacles..

Yes, I don't know all about you but from superficial talks to deep conversations, the more than a year we have been in touch so are the days we are together personally, they all made me believe, see and experience how admirable you are... There are times, I have told you that if I any time in the future, I will be glad writing yours(given the permissions of course), know why? It is because your life is shames all those who complains of little things.. You are a SURVIVOR James Fraser and forever that you will be.Remember always that those whom you love and now gone, surely if they are alive at this time,

Lastly, etched this to your being, God silently have love you and still,He is loving you( I do love you, too and you know that) for He opened doors of breakthroughs to you... Keep going! You are stronger than you think you are... smile emoticon ~OliVe Eloisa heart emoticon
