I know that angry poetry and sad poems tend to be cliche but in the end some are necessary evils an end to a means I guess, Some people have no one to really talk about things and have no way to release the anguish or sadness within themselves and 9 out of 10 times they will right it out in the form of poems, a type of release, this is how it was for me.

I was angry about many things, my relationship with the same woman of 11 yrs had ended in divorce, which I didn't want, the usual like the bills, cars breaking down but in the end it was just  a broken heart that caused me to pick up the pen again, I had become angry and bitter hiding from the world, I haven't dated in years because of this and I'm still not in any relationship. I had taken a poetry class in school and had written through out the years but when i was alone I found myself writing out the anger which helped greatly. Some are brutal. some are calm, some are fantasy, some are lyrical, some are small, some are long but most of all please enjoy them and comment.

I know I should have posted over time all my poems but Wattpad excited me, I could finally put them all out there for people to read. Some where hidden in Journals, most were on scrap pieces of paper laying all around my house, lol, some I had posted on FB and Myspace, I just transferred them over to here

I'm just an average guy, who loves to read, many, many things and writes poetry. I don't claim to be a lyrical genius or an awesome poet, I just write how i feel at that time, I like it simply worded, simple for all to understand and if in someway what I write helps someone out of a funk or lets them know at one point or another all humans feel same way  I'll be happy.
 
I know also that I forget to capitalize certain words or letters and my typing isn't that great, feel free to leave comment or opinions but be gentle, lol!!
