The following poems written before internet.

Written on 12/6/1994 Where is hope? Where is happiness? Nowhere I say. They have quickly disappeared into the darkness along with the wishes and dreams of the universe. A world of despair. A world of lonliness. A world of fear. Nothing else exists. There's no care left in this world. No one to listen or to comfort. A nothingness of life.   Written on 5/12/1998 There are people who would like nothing more then to destroy hopes and dreams. Sometimes they succeed in tearing apart a heart causing it great pain. Why do they cause such trauma? Do they think a person's too young to decide their own future? Probably. In doing that don't they know they will also destroy happiness and replace it with a loss of all hope in life. By succeeding in their destruction, they can turn a person into an empty soul with nothing left but a shell that knows not how to feel. They can also turn a person into a heartless slave with no desire to live, create, or to be. This is whats becoming normal of late. People wanting others to be lonely, scared, and unhappy forever. Can some really be that jealous? Nobody caring anymore. It's a shame. People trying to rule other's lives simply because they can't understand what brings them happiness? Let people handle their own lives. If they fail it's their own fault. Don't try to turn them into you! Sometimes a person merely wants to have someone listen and share the hurt right along with them when things get depressing. Written 1999 Many say to accept them for who they are yet they turn around and won't accept you! They tell you to grow up and act like a "boring" adult. But watch how a child handles life. Don't they act more adult then a real adult? They don't let the perils of reality get to them like the adults do. Think about it. Who really has a better understanding of the world we live in? The adults or the children? I say the children. They never seem frightened or scared. They speak their mind. They are carefree without worries or fear. They don't panic when things don't go well. They merely put it aside and do something else. Perhaps it's the children who have a better grasp of life. For they do seem the happiest within it!
