    About this ebook

    This is a collection of poetry, feelings made physical with words. Every poem or verse written in this book has a story behind it. Every sensation felt is a voice waiting to be heard. Some of these poems written are five years apart. It is incredible how one can read something that is many years old and has the ability to bring back to life an emotional state that was thought to be forever gone.

      Hope

      When the sky brings color to your day

      With every sunrise and every sunset

      When the wind blows directly to your face

      With every teardrop running down your face

      Blame it on the weather

      When you are not the same person you used to know

      With every feeling ever felt, remained untold

      Weighs on your shoulders like a thousand stone

      When the whole world becomes a lie

      and your eyes search for truth

      You will find that hope lies within

      Therefore,

      Hold On Pain Ends

      Unexpected

      Just when I have given up hope

      You came back from nowhere

      With a two words text

      All this time I spent to stand up

      Went to waste

      It took a moment to fall back

      On my knees

      Deep in my being an earthquake

      Took place

      Wounds in my heart reopened

      I thought they healed

      I could feel it beat in my ears

      I could feel it bleed in peace

      Cold war they call it

      Hurting me in silence

      Feelings awoke from yawning sleep

      Memories grew hands

      And they’re pulling me

      Out of this mess

      I have nothing for you to see

      I built a wall

      That you can’t break

      Not with your empty words

      Nor with your pity on me

      Not even my yearning

      can break it

      The broken me

      You will not perceive

      No More

      Excuse me

      if I talk too much

      All I said and done

      wasn’t enough

      I told you I won’t let go

      until you hear me out

      But you left no room

      for my thoughts to come out

      How dare you say there is

      nothing more to be said

      How could you judge?

      I’m the
