Firstly I'm going to start off this poem book with of my personal favourites. Written originally as a spoken words poem and actually performed in a slam poetry contest. I actually haven't thought of a title for it yet, so if anyone can think of one, please comment.

This is a letter to those a trusted, thrusted a knife into my heart, pulled apart from the start. I look at the past and all I see is a trail. All I can do is flail. Now I'm fine, I shine. I say thank you because screw you.

Hi dad, I know you love me but what happened to always helping me? Why do you always put me down... I try so hard but now I'm scarred. I try to please but now freeze in despair in this cold air. Please dad, I try.

Hello drugs, long time no see old friend, this is not the end. I want it to be, I want to see. What life would be without you. I have no clue, help me. Save me.

How are you doing mom? You can stop crying now, I am living please stop giving... me grief. It's not my fault I'm a leaf floating in the wind, so fragile. So faint. I know I'm not a saint, I'm far from perfect but please just accept me for who I am. For who I'm not and for who I will be.

Hello friends, everything comes to an end... same with this poem, I swear I'm not broken. I'm just a token for the words that are spoken.
