Crossroad
Broken behind thick walls of nothing
Freedom never felt so confined
Searching alone for something
Seeking desperately for some meaning to find
Mistakes made so long ago
Branded and scarred to your name
Things you wish no one would know
But we all have baggage to claim
Do not fear the unknown
Of what your future holds
You will never again be alone
I’ll be there as it unfolds
You came to a crossroad in your life
You chose the path of success
And everything has been put behind
Replaced with potential you possess
And if you stumble along the way
I’ll pick you up; I’ll hold your hand
Cuz I believe in you more each day
Even through things I don’t understand
When you’re bangin’ your head against the wall
I’ll soften the impact you create
I’ll catch you when you fall
And be there when you wake
When you’re screaming from all the shit inside
And you think no one can hear
I’ll come running to your side
Until your mind is clear
When you’re speeding life in the fast lane
I’ll be the one to slow you down
I’ll remind you of all in life you’ve gained
I will always be around
You amaze me everyday
With the life you’ve turned around
From a defiant kid I didn’t know
To a man who makes me proud
And though I’m miles away
Our lives are parallel
Rising up further each day
From the realms of a past hell
But someday soon I’ll see you
And I’ll love you even more
And I know you’ll amaze me
More than I’ve ever been before
Cuz I’ve never met someone like you
Radiating such ambition
You’ve taught me more than you know
You’ve become my inspiration
These thick walls of nothing
Are being knocked down with success
You will freely soar
With the potential you possess
You’ll never be alone again
Among the chaotic and mundane
You will always have a friend
When life gets insane ~~

Hi Stacy, I've read most of your works that you've posted here. I don't usually read poetry so I wouldn't be much of a critic, but I do have to say that they did make me cry.
My daughter Stephanie is about your age (5/86) and has had a hard time of it also. She's been cutting and a host of other things since about the age of 11 or 12. She thinks that we don't understand her pain either, but the reverse is true, we have to live with it every day too. Stephanie was molested by my sister's boyfriend, which seems to be the roots of her self destructive behavior. All the counseling in the world can't heal her wounds. I understand that this is common to abuse victims, and hope this didn't happen to you.
Unfortunatly parents are powerless against the demons live inside you and her. We can only pray that you both can somehow find love and peace for your souls.
