POETRY
Express the mess to release the stress! Writing to, from, and about the parts within.
Anger
My shame
At having you
As my father
Has become
Anger
Directed towards myself
For failing my children
In the same ways
You failed me

Other Than Here
The inner storm meets outer calm.
A silent fury.
Impotent rage not expressed.
Other than here,
Other than now.
The inner fog meets outer clarity.
A quiet constriction.
Clear thought not expressed.
Other than here,
Other than now.
The inner grime meets outer cleanliness.
A mute warning.
Functionality not expressed.
Other than here,
Other than now.
This poem is from the book Bound To The Wings Of A Butterfly
