Differences

There's a difference between you and me
Unfortunately no one opens up enough to see
Trust amd respect is what we are told
But being the nice guy is getting old
While growing into the woman i am today
I made a few bad choices along the way
Family, friends and strangers too
Will always have their own opinion of you
My past  is something i cannot escape 
Because everyone is holding onto my mistakes
Im not the same girl you knew last year 
If given the chance you'll have nothing to fear 
No lies, no games, no bull i promise 
I may hurt your feelings but ill always be honest 
I wanna be friends and give you a shout
Say that to a man n he thinks ill put out
Changing my ways n doing things right 
Yet friendships n relationships still end in a fight
What am i doing wrong to all of you
Im trying my best yet im still getting screwed 
Second chances are given n im always there
But when im in need all i see is an empty chair
Do i turn my back n become a 
Turn on and off like a light switch
Because thats what i see in everyone i know
I cant take it no more its starting to show
My walls are up high n very tight 
I wont let them down without one hell of a fight 
I wanna be shown that im important n special 
Seems to me that its just to stressful 
Im sorry for the things ive said n done
I wish that forgiveness will be given by someone 
Almost 30 and its been a crazy life
I just wanna stop paying the price
I've learned my lesson n laid in my bed
Wont do it again, id rather be dead
All i want is to be given a chance
I think i deserve another look, another glance
If not just know i do understand 
I realize  got way outta hand
Even if you wont give me a try
My life ill live with my head held high
Yes there's a difference between you n me
Im going to let go n finally be free!

A Love Story

This is a story of two lovers,
A boy and a girl, destined for each other.
They met by chance, and it felt like fate,
Their love was pure, it was no debate.
Their eyes locked, and their hearts skipped a beat,
They knew right then, they were meant to meet.
They laughed and danced, under the moonlit sky,
Their love was magical, it felt like they could fly.
They promised forever, to each other they'd stay,
Nothing could break them, they'd find a way.
But as time passed, their love started to fade,
The spark that once burned, slowly decayed.
They fought and argued, over little things,
Their love was slipping, like a bird without wings.
They tried to hold on, but it was too late,
Their love was crumbling, and there was no escape.
They said their goodbyes, with tears in their eyes,
It was the end of their beautiful paradise.
But even though their love came to an end,
They'll always cherish the memories they spend.
For in each other's hearts, they'll forever remain,
The boy and the girl, who once shared a flame.
So this is the story of two lovers torn apart,
Though their love will live on, in each other's heart.
For sometimes, love doesn't work out as planned,
But the memories and lessons will forever stand.

Life

Grade school, high school, college n university,
Our lives were laid out for us to succeed.
Decisions, decisions, Will i make the right choice? 
I could ask for guidance, will they hear my voice.
My life started out on the right path,
Tho the positive things sure didn't last.
Never made a team n struggled with my grades,
Would have switched places if they were willing to trade
At recess I sat alone under the big maple tree
The girls and boys just laughed an talked about me
Always the last one to be picked for a team
Why did they have to be so cruel and mean.
Can't say I ever had a good day, not even one
So i said "screw this" n began to run.
Responsibilities were gone, i no longer cared,
My family n loved ones just stood there n stared.
Self medicated, doctors, hell even a shrink 
There is no fixing me despite what you think
Just wanted to feel better, whole n complete
Nothing i tried gave me any relief.
The days turned into weeks, months into years
Would anyone even notice if I just disappeared.
Life never changes no matter how hard I try 
So what's the point I ask, as I sit here cry.

Rest Easy Dad Pt1

My poem was too long so I had to wrote it in two separate parts.

In a quiet town where memories blend,
Lived a man named Mike, a cherished friend.
At fifty-nine, his journey took a new flight,
Into a realm of everlasting light.
A son, a branch upon the tree,
Of family roots, for all to see.
He carried on with strength and grace,
A loving son, leaving his trace.
Within life’s joys and its darkest of nights,
He stood by her, Heather, his loving wife.
Together, hand in hand, they faced every test,
For in each other, they found their best.
A brother’s bond, a precious art,
Forever, he will remain within their hearts.
With scraped knees and stormy nights,
He was their beacon, shining bright.
With gentle hands and a loving heart,
He guided his children from the very start.
He was their hero, always on their side,
He taught them to speak, to walk, and to ride.
With open arms and a playful grin,
An uncle's love would always win.
He’d offer a coin with a teasing grace,
For a niece’s kiss upon his face.
Then came the day, a precious sight,
His heart swelled with love and light.
With open arms and a loving heart,
He played his special papa part.
A friend to many tried and true,
He shared a bond with so many of you.
With his “tough love” ways, he stood his ground,
If you ever needed him, he could always be found.
For the Toronto Maple Leafs, oh, how he’d cheer,
In front of the TV, with an ice-cold beer.
Each goal he’d celebrate, each save he’d praise,
Through wins and losses, his loyalty would stay.
He skated strong, with sticks and dreams,
A loyal player of the Dresden Minor hockey team.
OMHA titles three times, he claimed,
His name is forever printed in Dresden’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Rest Easy Dad Pt2

From dawn until dusk, he worked hard each day,
Delivering cement, no matter the pay.
In sturdy work boots, he’d march with pride,
For Coca-Cola, he traveled far and wide.
We'd choose the turns, he'd take the wheel,
Along the winding roads, with confidence we'd feel.
We tried to lose him on the paths unknown,
But he always knew which way was home.
He’d be on the river at the break of day,
Casting his line in the current's sway.
Patient and calm, he knew the game—
Catching fish through the wind and rain.
Into the woods, he moved at a hunters pace,
Tracking the deer to a secret place.
A 22 shotgun held firm and low,
He knew never to shoot the doe.
His clubs in hand, he’d face the course,
With every swing, a calm, sure force.
For him, it wasn’t about the score,
He loved the game and nothing more.
The cards were dealt, never marking with fives 
He played with a smile and a gambler’s eye.
Calling his tricks with a fearless flair,
A euchre champ in a worn-out chair.
In a smoky bar, when the day was through,
He aimed for the board like the sharpshooters do.
Flights spin true, through the air, they'd glide,
He'd sink his dart into the bullseye dry.
But more than what his hands had done,
He was laughter, warmth, and so much fun.
With Donald Duck’s voice, he’d make us smile,
Even if just for a little while.
The final hole, the last cast made,
His game is over but his memory stays.
I know he is gone, beyond our sight,
But his spirit shines, our guiding light.
In the summer breeze we will feel his love,
We'll see him in the stars above.
Though he's not here, he'll always be,
In every heart, in you, in me.

Breaking up is hard to do

You broke my heart and walked out of my life, 
I didn’t know loving you would come with a price. 
Now your gone and I can't think straight, 
You consume all of me, frozen in time alone I wait. 
What is it that keeps me here feeling this way, 
Why can't I be like you and go on with my day. 
Does this mean I care a lot more about you than you do for me? 
It seems as so as you’re the only one who's free 
I try so hard to stop the thoughts in my head 
I hate to say it but sometimes i would rather be dead. 
I can’t get you out of my head, you’re in everything I do 
Shouldn’t I be able to move on and do things like you. 
As you can see you were gone when I first started to write this 
I was thinking of us, and all that I would miss. 
You ignored every message; you said you no longer wanted to try 
I did not understand, I needed to know why. 
Days before that you asked me to be your wife, 
Changed your mind now you want me out of your life. 
Every day is battle and every night is a fight 
Should I just give up and walk away, give him what he wants, maybe I just might  
Only this evening there is no battle to be won 
This shouldn’t be happening I know im not the one 
Walking through my door with a bag in your hand 
I can’t help wonder if coming back was part of your plan. 
There is this feeling in the pit of my stomach just won’t go away,
I ask myself is there more to the story but maybe he is too scared to say. 
Is my mind getting the best of me, can it be playing tricks 
Ugh I don’t know what to believe, it is truly making me sick 
You’re the only one I want and my feelings are real and true,
I hate to ask but can I say the same for you?  
I hate wondering if there is someone else who has caught your eye 
Someone else that played a part in why you told me goodbye 
All I need to know is that there is no reason for me to pout 
Can you please just put my mind at ease and erase all the doubt.

Second Chances

For love is not always easy, not always kind,
It is the bond that ties us, body, and mind.
We refuse to give up, to let go of what we hold dear,
For in each other's arms, we have nothing to fear.
Through the stormy seas and darkest nights,
We cling to each other, our hearts continuing to fight.
Broken but not beaten, we try to rebuild what was lost,
Holding on to love, no matter the cost.
It isn't easy to forgive and forget, 
But letting go will be easier than living with our regrets.
Loving each other after trust had been broken,
It is a journey of redemption, a promise never spoken.
For in each other's eyes, we see
That I was meant for you, and you were meant for me.
Knowing that together we could find
That our hearts are forever entwined.

Have faith

This is a story of two lovers,
A boy and a girl, their bond like no other.
Their love was pure, their passion strong,
But fate had a different plan all along.
Their love blossomed like a spring flower,
Hearts entwined in a magical power.
They promised each other forever and more,
But little did they know what was in store.
As time passed and days went by,
Their love started to wither and slowly die.
The boy became distant, the girl felt alone,
Their once perfect love had now turned to stone.
They both tried to mend what was broken,
But the damage was done, words left unspoken.
The boy blamed the girl, the girl blamed the boy,
Their love turned into a battlefield to destroy.
They said hurtful words, they did regret,
But it was too late, how could they ever forget.
They both moved on, with a heavy heart,
Their love story, now just a memory apart.
But deep inside, they both knew,
Their love was real. It just needed to renew.
Years went by, and they met again,
Their hearts still ached from their past hurt and pain.
But as they saw each other's eyes,
They realized their love never died. 
They hugged and cried and said, "Im sorry,"
Their love rekindled, like a burning fire in glory.
For they knew they couldn't live apart,
They were each other's missing part.
This is a story of two lovers,
Who broke each other's heart but again found each other.
Their love was tested, but it never died,
True love will always find its way back, no matter how hard it tries to hide.

Demons

Flashbacks of the days I wish I could forget,
The harsh words spoken, cutting deep like a threat.
Trust shattered like glass, scattered on the floor,
Leaving scars so deep, we can't ignore.
Mental health issues, a heavy burden to bear 
Anger, anxiety, depression a constant nightmare.
Bipolar swings like a pendulum's sway,
From highs to lows, I struggle to stay.
Depression weighs heavy on my soul,
The darkness consuming, taking its toll.
Add them all together, its a rollercoaster ride,
Leaving me exhausted, with nowhere to hide.
With doubts and fears, anxiety grips tight,
A constant battle, day and night.
From the demons that lurk within,
Seems Im always at war, I can never win.
Can we move on together and put the past behind?
Forgive and forget, have peace of mind.
Is there light at the end of this darkened day?
Should we keep trying, or let love fade away?
As I reflect on the mistakes we've made, I ponder.
Where did it all go wrong, I wonder.
I thought I knew love, its warmth and its light
But now I question, was I wrong, not right?
