Matt Forshay Poem
Now when I think of you
I remember the last years
You helped me to recover
A place I never could have reached
Showing me the true love of my mother
No matter how hard I pushed away
By my side you would stay
You helped through my hardest time
Forgiving my life's mistakes
Devoted yourself to my recovery
We grew closer than I ever remember
We had moments together
That will last forever
I still can't believe
When I recovered
The fatal illness
You were diagnosed
That would take you from us
But my memories will never be taken
As I pass the cemetery walls
To see your final resting place
You will always be on my mind
Kneeling here I think...
Are you watching over me
From someplace far beyond

Matt Forshay Poem
After a certain age
A situation many never see
Is now directly infront of me
As I give words to comfort
The same way that she had once done
She looks so frail and weak
But still smiles at me
And reaches for a kiss
So I lean over
As her hand slowly raises
To meet my face
I just can't believe this
As I think about it
My amazing Grandmother
Smiling since 1922

Matt Forshay Poem
Remembering what I saw
Is this memory for real
Am I torturing myself for nothing
Will this last
Should I worry
It happened in the past
Thinking about what's in this life
Does it even matter how I feel
I'm just a man left alone
Surrounded by his own misery
Most people have turned on me
I did not realize
This is it how I chose to be
Not how I wanted to make it
Never considering why
I didn't think about what I had
What I feel seems so fake
Today I'll just hide the pain
All I can do is try to visualize
What my mind cannot see
It took my youth from me
Still thinking to this day
Of a terrible memory
When I almost died
I looked for a new life
Left those who wanted to stay
I pushed true love away
No one knew when I cried
My soul to filled with false pride
For these mistakes
I would be forced to pay
With my own sanity
The benefits that came so fast
They were not enough
Because now I see
They would not last
I am to blame
I should not have left
Love only comes once
It will never be the same
I can not relive my life
I can not reclaim the past
Now I must set myself free
At last my future may belong to me

Matt Forshay Poem
The end of life
What can it be
Heaven or hell?
Or maybe rebirth
There are many theories
What will happen after my last breath
Can I count on Karma
Or in the after life before resurrection
Will I be communicating with the spirits
Maybe I will be seeking nirvana
Maybe religion isn't how I should think
Atheists who don't believe in the divine
Could it all just be scientific
Maybe I shouldn't worry either way
And just be agnostic
So many choices
Which one to believe
Are any of these real
Or is this just a dream
I just don't know how to feel

Matt Forshay Poem
Even though "Only the good die young"
A very well known song that's sung
But should it be said
Means less in the head
They wanted death before off the tongue

Matt Forshay Poem
Trapped in the maze of life
A path in my view
Looking yet nothing is seen
Voices are yelling
Listening, I cannot hear a thing
Forces are pushing
Standing straight, I do not lean
I must break free
If I do what will be
Why can't I find my way
What can I do to get away
Organize the thoughts in my mind
Untangle myself from this web
Be calm and think to be freed
Then I will find what I need
Both body and mind are strong
What can be wrong
Facts are true but feelings confused
A mind half right
The problems left unviewed
This is wanted
Emotions left out of sight
They say let someone in
Anyone
A relative
A friend
Maybe they can mend
They cannot have what they seek
This battle must be fought alone
I will not be shown to be weak

Matt Forshay Poem
The the real maniacs to dread
Are ones you don't think will kill you
Not the murderers in the news you once read
In the morning think about who's in view
Why do you fear a man like john Wayne Gacy
He's locked away and cannot harm you
A guy who should really make you worry
Is the kid who always Liked it, Little Mikey
Don't think that you may get eaten by Jeffery Dahmer
There is no need to worry
You need to think about getting eaten by Tony the Tiger
Don't think he won't hurt you just because he's furry
Don't get scared by the BTK Killer
While eating breakfast there's an animal that you see
He may laugh but be afraid of Woody Woodpecker
He has a sharp beak and is as dangerous as can be
You shouldn't waste your time being scared of Ted Bundy
Just another with no one left to scare
When eating his charms there's a killer leprechaun who feels lucky
It's him that you really need to fear
The last is don't think about Charles Manson
He may be the worst
But in the morning when you hear a crunch be aware of the Cap'n
Of the dangerous morning mascots he ranks first

Matt Forshay Poem
There is so much that I have seen and
There is so much that I have done
During my time alive
So close to achieving so many dreams
Continuing my struggle to survive
I have overcome so many odds but
During this time, I have lost my smile
I just need to separate myself
And be alone for awhile
I close my eyes
I return to a past in my mind
Where there is no one
Now I need to be alone
To ever feel a smile

Matt Forshay Poem
In the middle of the universe, I stand
Wanting for everyone to be alive
When fear is conquered, everyone will be alive
The truth is revealed when bravery is set free
Medicine cures illness, everyone will be alive
Create a cool wave of healing to save
Able to fight terror, everyone will be alive
Will not bend to someone else's sender
When people find peace, everyone will be alive
End of war and pointless killing will be no more
As I watch I only want to see happiness and bliss
In the middle of the universe, I stand
Wanting for everyone to die
When all people show fear, everyone will die
Blazing balls of fright glowing so bright
As disease consumes, everyone will die
Hot flames of death with every last breath
Disabled by terror, everyone will die
Giving life to the invader's knife
On the day of the final war, everyone will die
As the final body falls the end of time calls
As I watch I want to see pain, suffering and death
Two opposite ways to look at life from the middle of the universe.

Matt Forshay Poem
When the time comes to wake
I don't want to leave a dream
I do not believe it is "fake"
If it is then I don't want reality
The dream world is real
These emotions that I feel
The Comfort , the pain, the sadness,
The bliss, the courage, and the fear
Sometimes they give me pleasure
Other times I feel hurt
In this other realm
I do not try to escape
Regardless of the landscape
You may think I'm insane
No matter what I feel pleasure or pain
Still I wish to remain
This reality is true
Even if a "nightmare"
The feelings are real but not the same
You never feel the small anxieties
That you could never heal
The petty things are gone
No need for the trivial
Focused on the vital
While in this dimension
Sometimes you are strong
Able to win any fight
In every disagreement you are right
Other times you are weak
And lose every fight
In every debate you are always wrong
Unlike all the stories
A dream is not without worries
And "nightmare" will not always scare
The pain that you feel
Can hurt more than if "real"
Pleasure can also be much greater
I wish I could remain in a dream or "nightmare" forever
