The Symbol of The Hair
 
Hair, its what keeps your head covered
It can make you beautiful
Or with the wrong hair cut it can make you ugly
Some people have long hair, others have short hair
Many girls feel like their hair is everything
Guys feel as if its no big deal
But for me hair means something totally different
I’ve lost my hair before, it was horrible
I had a disease that caused me to go bald
Because of this, my hair has become a symbol of hope
When I run my hand through it
I feel how long it has gotten
It reminds me how long I’ve been well
As long as its there I know that my body is whole
But in a way it is my way of holding on to the past
I am not ready to let go of that person,
I am not yet ready to move on
I am afraid that when I let go it will return
That once I let down my guard I will be struck again
When I am ready to let go I will
But not until I am ready, not when I am told to be ready
Cutting my hair will be my way of letting go
It will be my way of showing others, and myself, that I am moving on
But for now it will all stay where it is, on my head and not on my pillow

Family
 
What is family?
Is it two parents and children?
Yeah it can be
Can it be one parent and a child?
Yeah it can be
But do you really need parents to be a family?
I don’t think so
Family is a group of people who care about each other
It can be two people who love and care about each other
They all have a common goal and a common dream
It can be a group of friends who have shared experiences
A group of friends who care for each other at all times
There in times of trouble to help carry each other through
There in times of joy to celebrate all the good things
There in times of confusion to help pick up the pieces
And to help you put things together
There in times of sorrow to help collect your tears and hold you close
There in times of change to help stay on the right path
There no matter what stage of life, doing what they can to help

I've been going through some of my old peotry lately and wanted to post some of them

Driftwood
 
I have been floating along like a piece of driftwood
Not really bothering anyone or anything
Minding my own business, ignoring others
Not really making an effort to go anywhere
I’ve just gone wherever the current took me
I have slowly drifted away from the world
I have drifted away from friends, family and myself
I let down my guard, I stopped trying
I got hit by an emotional tidal wave
I was dragged off by this wave
I got caught in an undertow, I got pulled under
For a long time I couldn’t get myself out
People came to try to help me out but
I just kept saying “No I can do it myself”
It took a major eye-opener to get me to get some help
Even with help it took a lot of work
Once I got out of the undertow I realized how far I had drifted
I had drifted far enough that I couldn’t even see where I had started
I couldn’t see anyone but myself I felt so abandoned
It was taking great strength and courage to go back
I had hurt people; many had hurt me as well,
I must use all my strength to go back and forgive
I just hope that I had that inner strength to survive
Like a piece of driftwood it’s harder to go back then it is to go forward
