In My Reflection

This book is written to inspire people from all walks of life. To bring love, loss, pain, happiness, empowerment, and inspiration into light. To share the power of words, some words are a comfort to some, and some words are revealing for others. Words are extremely powerful and can cause so many emotions and actions. This book is best discribed in this poem:


I keep trying to lay out all of

my expressions and feelings

with out trying to be, too revealing

and with trying to be, too concealing

and as I pull back each layer of skin

peelings

another layer appears

concealing my anger

love and fears

blood rolling over each pain

even as the needle penetrates the vein

the lines are not clear

but the skin is left stained

And a message is sent to the brain

As its trying to push back the memories

The lies I created

In attempt to deceive

Living in the world of make believe

Even though Im speaking

its not truly describing the pain

So I scream louder thing that you can now hear me

but instead of it the words coming out clear

In the air they are crisp sounds of despair

heart needed to repair

holding back words trying not to swear

Not to ignite a fire

Im not sure thats there

Unsure if I should share

If I could repair

The damage that is done here

concealed

not revealed

and not truly healed, but Healing

I pull back this layer of Skin

and let You in

Thick Skin
