Faced With My Fears

Sitting here faced with my fears
not know how to escape it.

Never knowing who I really am
faced with the fact of life.

It stairs me in my eyes.

This thing people calls fear
tears me down inside.

With out a soul knowing it
faced with the desicions of life.

Sitting here faced with my fears.

I begin to weep

I begin to cry out.

I begin to feel pain like no other
has ever felt before.

As I sit here faced with my fears.

I reach my hand out to you 
for help and only to come and realize.

The only thing in front
of me is my own reflection.

I now have the fear of
helping myself to realize its time to let go.

Amongst the Grass

With you there are no unforgettable memories.
Which I could only see.

With mother natures love surrounding us..
We watch as trees blow in the wind with her kiss.

As the birds fly in the sky with her every thought.
We hear the cars swish by with her movement of life,
And with you beside me romance begins to bloom.

Field of Hope

As I sit here staring at the world that surrounds me.
My mind begins to wonder.

With  tulips all around me.
In front of me a pictured moment only caught in time.

With only the trees blowing with the wind.
With only the sound of birds twirping in my ears.

With the mountain side in a hidden view.
With only one eyes could see.
Only natures life surrounds me.

Inspiration In My Life

Mom you are a big Inspiration in my life. 
You are my hero.

Your not only my mother but you are my best friend.
With out you I would not only be in this world.
But I wouldn't be where I am today. 

You have stuck beside me. 
Through all my heart ache and pain. 

You have accepted all my choices in life. 
You have tried to accept the fact that I am gay. 

I have tried my best too show you how much I LOVE YOU. 
But I don't think I will ever be able to repay you. 
But I want you to know this. 

If i go 1 day or 3 months or even a year. 
With out giving you a hug or telling you I LOVE YOU. 

Just remember no matter what. 
You are the reason im here and where im at. 

And I WILL ALWAYZ LOVE YOU.

It's time you take a brake and breathe.  
Mom it's time for you to count on me for awhile. 
Your getting older and your days are running short. 

Take a load of off you feet. 
Tell me what you need.

THANK YOU MOMMY.
