I have to say that I have had this Blog since 2008 and I believe that, that was the longest. Before that I wrote on Yahoo Groups from 2003-2008. I have finally decided to create a new blog that focuses just on my poetry. I am going to keep this blog up as long as I can so if any body wants to read anything they will be welcome to. I can't promise that I will be posting anything new on here anymore unless it is something important, or just me venting to the world. Poem wise you can go to www.injacksownwordstwo.wordpress.com and I will be writing new poems and explaining where they came from. The new blog has been on my mind for awhile. The truth is I thought about just deleting everything all together due to the lack of time to make good material and the lack of attention of my blog. I never starting writing for myself. My goal has and always will be to relate with other people. I am not looking for any type of fame. I like to connect with people and understand them. I have made some friends, and some relationships through this blog over the years, and I hope that while leaving this up I can still build new friendships. I don't know what made me decided not to give up trying to relate with people, maybe it is God. I am not sure but I don't want to give up just yet so if you want to read some new poems please visit the site. Thanks!

With all the pain and agony, we continue to push forward, but we question our lives, always struggling to stand up straight. fearing our inevitable fate. carrying this horrible weight. Note; In all honesty this is about the world and the struggle to live, have faith in God, but the weight some t...
