repost.. written in 1982

It’s over! In some ironic sense .. That I always knew would happen. It’s over! Love and family Always reaching for family.. Even in halves Desperate for acceptances in everything I do. Misconceptions and misunderstandings Straining and rebelling This is my way. Either way is wrong. Here I am!! Trying to be heard But unable to scream. No one to listen. Please I say .. with open arms Always smiling hoping believing That we could start a bond. Praying to God.. it is not to late. But knowing feeling deep inside.. It’s late The wall will always threaten refuse and taunt… Can we over come? For dreams sake I try secretly swallowing pity and confusion Except Forgive No questions. This I do for you.

As always your poetry sings of the loneliness of your early life and the longing of a child neglected and abused by those who should have cared much more than they did. You sing the song of the child so well and so beautifully that it made my heart cry.
