In My Reflection

A Closer Look

This book is written to inspire people from all walks of life. To bring love, loss, pain, happiness, empowerment, and inspiration into light. To share the power of words, some words are a comfort to some, and some words are revealing for others. Words are extremely powerful and can cause so many emotions and actions. This book is best discribed in this poem:

I keep trying to lay out all of
my expressions and feelings
with out trying to be, too revealing
and with trying to be, too concealing
and as I pull back each layer of skin
peelings
another layer appears
concealing my anger
love and fears
blood rolling over each pain
even as the needle penetrates the vein
the lines are not clear
but the skin is left stained
And a message is sent to the brain
As its trying to push back the memories
The lies I created
In attempt to deceive
Living in the world of make believe
Even though Im speaking
its not truly describing the pain
So I scream louder thing that you can now hear me
but instead of it the words coming out clear
In the air they are crisp sounds of despair
heart needed to repair
holding back words trying not to swear
Not to ignite a fire
Im not sure thats there
Unsure if I should share
If I could repair
The damage that is done here
concealed
not revealed
and not truly healed, but Healing
I pull back this layer of Skin
and let You in
Thick Skin
