We must all face our demons

The holidays are very hard for a lot of people including myself. Depression sets in and sadness creates an atmosphere of deep loneliness and despair causing the suicide rate to rise. So please if you know anyone that seems down or depressed please check on them more often. Even just a note or a phone call even just a smile to let them know that they are not alone it truly can save a life.

We will all face our demons
no matter what they are
or who that
It may be at least
one time
in our lives before
we die and move on,
The questions that
we must
ask ourselves which
must come from
way down
Deep inside
Is not really a
matter of If you will
but more like
when and why
For almost every person
Ever born on this
Earth will be
Addicted at one time
Or another to something
Or someone that
Is very harmful
To them at least one
Time in their human lives
Addiction is a demon
And is the evil that
Comes from
Destinations unknown and
Is the greatest threat unlike
Man or woman has
or will have ever known
That will leave you lonely with
No friends, family or
Children or even a home.
Addiction has no cure and
can only be fought
from inside of us ourselves
It is a fight through who
you are and one that will
last our entire life. No one
can see the battles that rage
on in our hearts, minds,
and souls every one is
different that is just the
way life goes they say that
they can help you yet in
the truth they should not try
for if they try to fix you they
will break themselves inside.

Happy Holidays my friends just know that you are never really  
ALONE.

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all and we all matter bi

It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book.

  "A story of one man's epic love for his son who is not of his blood." One day I was woken up by a dream I think it was really a nightmare I was alone or so I thought, I was seeing shadows and I kept hearing voices whispering in my ear so I started listening and writing it down, I still do that today. That was ten years ago and with those words, I wrote my first book., The Battle Lost: Ryder's Birth, It was a whopping fifty-two pages each a separate piece of poetry with extremely bad grammar, misspelled words, and no punctuation I had a good friend go through it when I got it back there were so many red marks I flashed back to high school. It has been on Amazon's top ten Epic Poetry (Free) in the Kindle Store for ten years. Ryder is now eleven years old and doing awesome it really was an epic battle physically, mentally, and emotionally fought in Parker County, Texas. DNA does not matter if you love that child enough and I Proved that. Actually, Attorney Bethel T
