Fighting Demons

Fighting Demons
Fighting demons every day is a never-ending battle
I would certainly say, the darkness comes in like the 
night no matter what you try you cannot stop it so
you just need to fight, depression, PTSD, addiction, 
mental illness, they all are an enemy that comes from
inside as your emotions are fighting each other in a world
war me. no matter what your battle is it will be long and
bloody but you can fight it, I do know this, it is a war
that you must fight all alone deep down in your mind
heart and soul, No one knows how hard the battles will
rage, you cannot escape it as two fighters locked inside 
a cage, day and night the war goes on the more you fight
the more It will come on, Throwing fist into empty air
fighting an enemy that just is not there, fighting demons
is on one front, while friends and family are on separate
one, they say take a pill or it is not really real, why don't you 
chill or just smile even still are words that we hear
that push us into the darkness further still, while the demons
keep attacking until just you the darkness and the demons 
are left inside there is no way out no place to hide 
round after round after round after round where it stops 
no one can decide until the darkness finally wins the
demons too hey It is not over you will win too the circle 
goes on forever it seems every day you wake up and 
even every night in your nightmares and dreams I can
say that the fight is forever when it comes to those that
live in the dark both The demons and the foes 
The only hope that we do have insight is to look to the sky
pray to the light He will send strength and hope show
you the Light so at least you can cope just know when 
you are at your end and you think that all is gone
We fight this war together you, me and others so you 
are never really alone so write down your fears about
the darkness and all so that we may spread the word
so that one day the darkness in which we live and the 
demons that we fight will come to end with the help of 
us all there is light insight.

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 a...

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...

Happily ever after amen.

Happily ever after amen.  Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear  your blood flowing through  your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you w...
