Richard Kimble Poem
Not asking to be born
Decisions from choices you made
Ready or not these dues must be paid
Played a game far too young
To realize or fathom at that age
Mere Minutes of thinking
Become a lifetime of consequences
….Abandoned…..….Just left behind…….The sorrow……… Disregarded…..
If regrets were going to be made
Thoughts of other options should have been considered
Said you could never see yourself get rid of me
Yet I am just left behind
Blind to not have picked up on your distance
Surprised because our timeline revealed the signs
Reasons are irrelevant
….Deserted…..….Just left behind…….The pain……… Overlooked…..
Spoke how two wrongs never make it right
You should practice what you preach
Periods I needed you the most but only found emptiness
Guidance through the hardships of life
I wish you would have had my back
Selfishly you disappear on me
Something that I would never do to my seed
….Discarded…..….Just left behind…….The torment……… Neglected…..
Lost so much time, Reconciliation impossible
Too many unanswered questions and reasons misunderstood
Dilapidation caused by the homes that you came from
Foundations broken and damaged even back then
How could your lives have been more important than mine
Would give up my own life before abandoning my child
This heartless cycle ends with me
….Forsaken…..….Just left behind…….The anguish……… Forgotten…..

Richard Kimble Poem
All the years of my life you damaged me
You fail me and let me down
I have begged to know how you truly felt
Now after what you have put me through
This far I don’t believe there’s a good side to you
People in and out of my life spoke your name to me
The sound of it was so sweet, but I see it now
None of them should ever be allowed to release or speak of you again
Love, I think your name has truly lost its meaning
I witnessed all sides of you, all the highs and lows
The comforts and neglects, the pain and torture from your abuse
The worst sounds of you
That scorn touch that you carry
That leaves us feeling lost
Buried in your humiliation
Love I’ve grown to hate and despise you
I should have realized there was another side to you;
In all your lies I found the truth
I don’t believe I kept having faith in you
Disgusted by all the pain you made me
Suffer though I began hating to deal with day to day life at the hands of you
Ridiculed by the spite in your fight, my blistered heart runs now
Hoping I’m never caught in the sight of you
I’m done feeling sick and lost cause of you
So over the headaches I’m storming the
Pains of you

Richard Kimble Poem
I needed someone to talk with
A person that understood what I was saying
The one who wouldn’t judge me
The person that remained quiet while I spoke
All I wanted was for somebody that listened to me
Once was afraid to voice my opinions
However, courage in my beliefs is what I achieved
I stand proud now it’s as if my words even speak
Made me a teacher through my talent
When everyone was too busy you sat and listened to me
Became the lending ears that I needed at times
I’ve grown to depend on you being there
I was allowed to say whatever I like
Whether I’m wrong or right you didn’t mind
Yelled at top of my lungs, still you listened to me
Not in the form of a man nor woman
Just ink I wrote on a line made me a creator
I write at my own free will, without anyone to stop me
Humbly I now watch my nouns and verbs spill onto paper
Became closer than best friends could be
See, when no one else did my pen and paper still listened to me

Richard Kimble Poem
Destruction
You have taken aim at me
Green-eyed of my determination
Trapped as if in some third world country
Constantly dodging bullets
Wishing for my down fall
Praying for my Destruction
Only feeds my purpose and willpower
Despite how I’m seen through your eyes
I still strive, struggle, survive
Defy the odds
The last person you’ll find hiding
I was born tough
Evolved to be resilient through this battle
It is only pain ~ I will recover and thrive
Even after torture, neglect, and heartache
So, Plead for my Destruction
It just brings me closer to your defeat
Smile now, believing that victory is yours
I’ll allow you to think you’ve succeeded
Take your best shot by looking up
Because on top is where I’ll be
You’ll never be able to destroy me
