Who do you thank for dreams?

How should a tribute go

For the one that offered hope?

An outlet for that pain that

Seemed to build up relentlessly

For one reason or a million other

Take your pick, results still the same

That one person that opened that window

When the door slammed shut

In my face blatantly at an early age…

Reminding me no matter the pain

It is always worth getting rid of

Imaginary scratching upon pages

Of soul…worn, old and tired

A book of nightmares, lovingly

Created through years of trying

Hard to be who I should be

And proud of what I have…

…A journey of ups and downs

In my treasured faded pages I

Offer to you without comment

Never knowing, not really caring

That you inspired me…helped me

But grateful nevertheless

That someone did, someone cared

Enough to crack that window for me

So I could crash through in my own

Self obsessed needs and wants style

Throwing my twisted being

…scared, sacred, scarred

Imaginings into meaningless

Phrases and rhythms that produce

Results in a ostentatious way

So please give me something else

To break…I need more scars

And thank you crack wherever

Whoever, whenever…

You came from
