Starting Over

<>
I allowed strangers to see my pain. I cried tears while those pages were created. I did not think about who would be hurt. No one cared about how I felt. I wrote my book to free me from my past. Closing the chapters once and for all. I put my heart and soul on the line. I cried over the past one last time. I know I hurt some people bad. Like I had turned around and slapped them hard. But please keep in mind A child sees things differently. And now you see what my life was really like. I hope we can move pass this and over come. As we start a new chapter from page one.

HI, Cory. it's what we have to do as writers. We have to TELL what we FEEL. It's too bad that some can't understand that. But it's good we have friends like here at Soup that we can relate to!

~My mom told me my book felt like a personal attack.. My book is my past.. It is everything that happened good and bad.. Im sorry it hit her like a brick wall, but sometimes you need be brought to your knees before you open your eyes and see. My next book is called Forever Dreams and it is all encouraging words and thoughts.. with a few fav poems of mine.~ Free Spirit
