Maybe

Maybe I went a little too far this time

     Delving deep into the back of my mind

          Writing the truth is all that I know how to do

               I quietly with pen in hand bring out the painful memories

                    Of the past that haunt me the ones I try so hard to forget

 

An author of poetic words I have become

     Yet my words seem to sting and often burn

          I write about secrets my family chose to hide

               Just getting it out in the open seems to help me a bit

                    Hopefully I can help someone else along life's way

My friend, I belive you have helped many by your truthful words and heart. Like your son, you have taught many readers hard lessons. You taught others that hiding family secrets only rips families apart and destroys your soul in general. My family has secrets and they lay hidden behind the door in the living room. Those secrets are tucked so far under the stairs that I don't even know what they are, but they're there because the destruction of family members is the evidence. Sad really, but the truth has to be told and you tell it very well.

Very well penned. Each word put to paper makes a difference, for somewhere, a life changes when they read!

This is beautiful, and the last verse is definitely true in my case. It's like your words are my soul's tonic. And enthusiastic A+ from me!!!
