If I could go back I'd hug you i'd let you know everything is going to be okay.
If I could go back I'd let you know what not to do like the drugs that made your life seem happy at first but then your episodes got really bad you think your bad now you only get worse after you get into the drugs.
You want all the pain and suffering to go away I now you do but I promise you your going to make it through the hard times I know its not easy but I promise you things will get better you just have to keep fighting for what you want and who you wanna be.
Dear teenager self I know you hate your life I know you wish you could die I know you want to shrivel up and never have to return to another day of misery but you just have to keep fighting.
I'm sure not everything will go how you wish it will actually I know it doesn't but that's okay because you make it out you'll make it if you keep fighting just don't give up okay.
I'm proud of the person you're becoming I know you have a lot of regrets but that's just part of life and you learn from your mistakes.
Don’t let the fear in your head
Guide or influence your days
Don’t let it take control
Allowing it to have its own way
I know its not easy
It is such a hard battle to fight
Determined and persistent
Fears destructive grip is unbearably tight
It is so easy to give in
To fears crippling hold
Real strength and willpower required
So by your fear…. you are not controlled!
She is your reason
To do right and be strong
To not embarrass nor shame her
So she feels secure where she belongs
Her childhood is your reason
One not to be marred
Letting your guard down
Memories become scarred
Your beautiful family is your reason
To stay focused and in control
Your highest priority
Keeping your family happy and whole
I know its not easy
You are trying so hard
Doing unbelievably well
At not dropping your guard
We who love you
Will always support and guide
You mean everything to us
We stand proudly by your side
The truth is, it is an ongoing battle
Every day, every week, every season
Just always, always remember
She …..is your reason!
My Partner for life
I love you,
My sweet,gorgeous,sexy husband,
I'm thankfull for having to spend my life with someone like you,
I'm grateful for your love,
I am proud of you babe,
I see your hard work and all that you do,
I know its not easy,
Don't you Eva forget how much we appreciate you and all that you do,
Without you standing by my side,
I would be unhappy,miserable,
You bring out the best in me,
You take the most amazing care of us,
When I look at you I see,
Love,
Strength,
Bravery,
Compassion,
Honesty,
Respect,
Intelligence,
I'm proud to call you my husband!!!
You are my soul mate my love,
When you are not around me,
I feel like a ship lost at sea,
My heart no longer belongs to me,
you have taken each part,
My sweet heart,
every year you become a better husband and friend to me,
Happy Birthday my love, I wish for you to always be happy,
I love you!!!
There's no goodbyes,only love
Sweet child of mine,
you have walked on the line.
through the darkest of places,
but you`re doing just fine.
Keep your head above water,
and a smile on your face.
And maybe someday,
things will fall into place.
I know its not easy,
to follow your plan.
But its part of the journey,
to becoming a man.
So pick up your heels,
and take your head out from the sands.
Keep a hold of what you`ve got,
and keep it safely in you`re your hands.

Dear Amber
By Laura D
January 10, 2017
I thought i left it all behind
The sunshine in my mind
Time to unwind, please be kind
You may find a way to break away
I don't know the answers, my dear
The tears in your eyes still speak of fear
Cause Surely we've been through enough
Bleed if you want; I'm calling your bluff
Same goes for me I suppose
I know its not easy with all that you know
To leave it all behind in a blinding smile
If I never listen, would you stay with me a while?
Don't you see my countless fatal flaws?
You say I'm too pretty despite of it all
I wish you could see that I'm just like you
Broken and bruised, with all you've been through
See me in you where everything is new
Just look in my eyes in the way that you do
Cause I am not pretty; just a beautiful mess
And know you're the best; my wife I caress
So this isn't at all how I had hoped it would be, but finally I'm happy cause its you and me. Baby I'm sorry for my lack of trust, I know its not easy but patience is a must. I hate that we have the past we do, because I'm not comfortable with Joel continuing to hang onto you. I get really jealous when you and him talk, I can't help but wonder if back to him you'll eventually walk. Honey deep inside I am trembling with fear, Desirea Lynn I'm deeply in love with you my dear. You are the one I want right next to my side, lord I pray our love is strong enough that through these rough times she'll be able to ride. When I look ahead the brightest spots I see, are her big beautiful eyes staring back at me. I just hope I dont do what I have always done, because god damn it I truly love you hun. You might push me right to the ledge, but I'll fight hard not to fall off the edge. I'll do the very best that I can do, all to make a better life for me and you. I will continue to love you unconditionally until the very end, I am greatful to have such a wonderful woman as my girlfriend.
This Poem is for all those (including myself) that is holding on to some kind of pain from their past that they cant seem to let go of or don't want to... You're bringing it with you wherever you go even 20 years from now until you can learn to make peace and let go.
I know its hard I know its not easy,
But I know that the past still haunts thee.
No matter what you do it still tends to show,
But you have to try... To let the pain go.
I'm not a professional just someone that's seen,
This is one task that certainly ain't easy.
If you hold on negativity will follow,
And leaves no room to be positive tomorrow.
I know its difficult to come to terms,
With yourself..your past..and all you have learned.
It's not easy to let the past go..whatever it may be,
But it makes life difficult to live positively.
We know not of what it holds for the future is but a mystery,
But what's done is done.. make peace... Because its History.
Dana, I love you, I know you are better
Than all of the storms that we'll come to wheather.
Please realize love, that your problems are mine,
i don't mean to stress you, please keep that in mind.
The heartaches, the harsh blows, will pour down like rain,
but it'll be worth it, to see you again.
I know its not easy, I know that its rough,
I've been there before and i know that it tough.
I want you to realize the blessings you have,
A friend that is willing to grasp your cold hands.
For i was alone, Love, all of my life,
alone i had dealt with the pain and the strife.
Believe it or not I was much worse than you,
A game was called suicide, was all i could do.
Consumed all my thoughts, decaying my brain,
I still to this day have not healed from my pain.
But you've made it better, and now I know why,
my reason of livings to keep you alive.
I know its not easy being Four-teen
I once walked the road that you’re on.
I can’t take the steps for you …I’ve done it already
my choice now to only look on.
I know all too well, that you think I know nothing
(‘cause I Once thought that same thing in my mind)
And today I see Mom, with new appreciation
you could say I know “less” now with time.
I “get”, that your life is now filled with decisions
that you aren’t prepared yet to make
There are things tearing at you from EVERY direction
and you don’t know which route you should take
But PLEASE, baby girl, take comfort in knowing that some of us made it past TEEN.
We struggled as you are, and feared as you do, that WE would be stuck in between
You probably won’t understand what I attempt to make clear
until you safely make it out too,
And one day you may have this same chat with YOUR daughter
trying to say that she’s so much like you.
When I look in your eyes and see so much confusion,
there’s an all too familiar pain
Though right now you don’t see it, one day YOU will be it.
It will then be your turn to explain.
