My opening poem, "A Cats-Tail" is dedicated to my cats; whom have always been by my side through my times of struggles. Able to put a smile on my face and show unconditional love; when nobody else could.
For my past buddies in life: Brendan~Shadow
To my present buddies in life: Sadie~Buddy~Alexis
I also dedicate these poems to all people who have tried to attempt suicide and survived or those contemplating suicide. In hope of bringing peace and solitude to all broken hearts and dreams.

Excerpt
"The Son - You Never Had"
6-10-03
I did not turn into
the son you wanted.
A football star, or groom to be.
But I only wanted
your love and attention,
and accept the fact - that I am me
To realize the devastating
life I had.............................
and understanding the way I feel.
For someone who contemplates
thoughts of suicide,
These feelings are very, very real.
But it's now too late
to fix these things,
which is really, really quite sad.
But there is still time left
if you truly loved me ~
