(another poem i cannot think of a name for and i ask for your help, HP)

I once knew a man who hated the world
He use to cut himself up to stop the pain
Forced to go to new lengths to erase who he was
And who he became…

I once knew a boy who loved the world
Before he was forced to be a man
Forced to grow up before his time, before he was ready
To become that man…

I never found out why he was forced down that path
A life lived in lies is a life of denial
I never found out how much he bled
Before he learned to stop living the lie

I once knew two parents who loved their son
And thought they were doing the best for him
But all they were doing was holding him back
His soul was missing

I once knew two people who adopted a son
And became his parents in a cold earth
But the love turned to anger and hate too soon
Another wave to surf

I never found out how he survived
With all that sadness he kept inside
I never found out how he survived
The rope the day that he died

I thought I knew two people who brought a child into the world
But I never knew the plans they had
Plans to destroy the child they conceived
Well, too bad

I thought I once knew two people I was supposed to trust
Until I learned the truth about them
They destroyed another before their child was born
Forever broken

I never found out how he survived
With all that sadness he kept inside
I never found out how much he bled
Before he learned to stop living the lie…

Serenity

A forest around me, a maze of wood and dirt
It’s bark on the trees
The birds and the animals
The flowers around me dancing in the breeze
A roaring river far below.
Sitting upon the warm rock underneath of me
I taste the slightly salty air
Like a baby’s breath blows the wind in these trees
With civilization so far away like a whole new world
I feel surrounded by serenity

The energy around me, a maze of emotion
Its very presence excites me
The birds and the animals
Gathering around me, dancing between the trees
The roaring river far below.
Meditating upon the warm rock beneath me
I tune myself to nature
And feel myself being lifted by the breeze
With civilization so far away, I can barely hear it
I know I’m surrounded by serenity

Brother (new poem)

brother, a man I barely know
why do I feel your pain?
You were always so far away, man
Living in constant shame

of a past you tried to hide from the world
a past so much like my own
two brothers on separate paths and lives
with the pain we had to show

It's funny to think of both our lives, brother
a man I wish I knew
Growing up miles apart and with different people
a man who is so blue

Oh brother, what I'd give to spend an evening with you
and share that moment with you
To think of what we both could learn from one another
like we used to do

Looking through the old photographs,
when life was so easy,
are all I have left to remember those times
so far in my distant memory...
