This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still, treat each guest honorably.
It may be clearing you out
For some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing,
And invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
Because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond.

You came to me at such a young age
How could I know you were setting the stage?
Coming to me in such a subtle way
As your true self held at bay
Feeling alone and full of pain
Comfort and warmth thought I’d gain
Did not know you were just an illusion
To a child lost in confusion
You were my first love
Conceived you as a beautiful dove
Giving to you trust in full
Stronger and stronger became your pull
As my life starts to begin
Always you helped me fit in
To the lost soul led the way
Deeper and deeper day by day
Now full in you led my direction
Your complete intent to no detection
Years now began to pass
You knew then our love would last
Every time I felt a loss
Comfort to me you would toss
Although I let you lead the way
I did not know the price I ’d pay
As decades passed I began to see
That you were not the one for me
Finally by then your grip was tight
No escape in the fleeing flight
More and more I wanted to leave
But only loss could I achieve
Now looking back at my empty life
I know now who held the knife
Cut so deep to my very soul
Stripped naked, taken whole
Seeing now that you only exist
Inside of me does your presence persist
The true one protecting me
In good time, set me free
Goodbye you retched flower
Turning now to my higher power
I have now a new defender
To that one I do surrender

Anger was the fabric of my being for the first 20 years of my life. This was because of how I was born. It was no body’s fault. It made me feel miserable and filled my soul with hate and fear. It made decisions in life that are easy for others, become a big struggle for me. Knowing something was wrong but not knowing what it was made most of those decision’s fill me with 20 years of regret.Most of all it made me afraid to include myself in most social activities. This ruined most relationships and whatever reputation I may have had. This in turn made me ashamed of who I was and made me a perfect target, for bullies in school. It took many years of hardships to become the man I am today.It took a lot of help from friends like you and I Thank each and every one of you. It is your love that gives me the strength to stand on my own two feet today. Thank You for giving me a flashlight in what started as a pitch black journey. I am now filled with hope and clean of all my fears. I could not have done it without you. Thank you with all my Heart!
