PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The story of a Mid-Life Crisis and how a persons change affects a family.  

COMPOSED/WRITTEN ON THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER, 2009...AS AN ANSWER TO MY BELOVED'S QUESTION WHICH SHE PUTS TOO OFTEN...WHY ARE YOU SO SAD....PERHAPS THIS POEM MAY PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS.

This is perhaps the one poem that was the hardest for me to write. I've been writing poetry and music for 14 years, some of it biographical, but NEVER like this. I've been homeless my entire adult life, trying my best to keep others from knowing the truth. I recently turned 32, and with it came an evaluation of my life. I've been living a lie, and the only way for me to stop lying to MYSELF is to reveal the truth, no matter how much it hurts...

Inspiration from a friend when discussing what occurs during writers block.

This was an affected poem I attempted to compose which was churned out just from viewing a film.  It was entitled "Nell" starring Jodie Foster and Morgan Freeman.  Due credits go to co-writers Mark Handley and William Nicholson.

Written long ago as most of my writing is. I have lost my inspiration.
