I am a first time offender. This
is my first time reaching out. I have been a loner all my life, feeling I
never needed anyone, but as the years of life pass me by, I realize how wrong I
have been. I'm looking for someone who is willing to understand that
building a true friendship is something that can be truly special. I
myself need someone I can step from behind this false wall I have built around
me over the years. Someone who is willing to share thoughts and
expressions. Friendship is something so very rare in such a place.
So I am reaching out to anyone who can understand the pain and loneliness.
I have nothing to hide and all questions are welcome.
Here is one of my poems of many...
Tears I Cry
Sometimes I hate the pain
I feel inside
I lay down at night, open my heart and cry
I cry tears of joy and tears of pain
Being stuck in this place where everyday there is madness
These tears I cry are not for the whole world to see
These tears are in my heart for only God and me
This pain I feel sometimes I cannot hide
yet I walk around everyday with my head up high
These tears I cry are never down my face
it's always inside, for the heart is it's place
Pain has never known any kind of glory
If my heart could speak, it would tell a story
How the tears of pain seem to never come out
These tears I cry I hold deep inside
I hold inside only because of my pride
pride that never seems to slow the pain
This pain I feel, I wonder if there is a God
but I will forever get on my knees and pray to the Lord
There is nothing in the world that can tear me apart
but the tears I cry, that's deep in my heart
These tears I cry I just cant let go
and this pain inside I just can't let show
