Poetry of the Heart and Mind is not simply just about loss, love, and pain. It's much more than that. The author wanted to convey simple words to bring out the deepest emotions many people choose not to show either because they think it's a sign of weakness or not manly. It was a way for the author to his head straight from life. The author chose to share his thoughts with the world to help those who think there is no one to help them. Knowing everyone has different ways of dealing with life's crazy turns, just remember to always look on the brighter side of things and push forward. Know when one takes a chance to experience new things because they simply never know where it can lead you. Life is too short to dwell on what was. Focus on what one can take from their past to create a brighter future.

Writing is very therapeutic for the heart, mind, and soul. As you read this book, you will experience love, passion, anguish, self-doubt, compassion, and eventually hope. There is help everywhere. Talk to a close friend or family member, write, sing, play an instrument, and find what works. Don't waste time because it is short and valuable. Cherish every moment because life will always throw a curveball!

The author's hope is that after the reader finishes reading this book, they'll understand that even though people have different circumstances, they all still have basic and fundamental commonality, and that's being human.

You made me smile

You made me laugh

You made my heart

Beat so fast

We both said “I love you”

We felt it would last

You broke my heart

Like in my past

You erased every moment

Like nothing past

Did I even matter

I guess I was just a big laugh

No friends no family

Is now what I have

I start again from my past

I’ve learned a lesson

Love is a word which now holds no meaning

I’ll live my life with no more feeling

I num myself to feel no pain

Because life itself is a bullshit game

You can say I’m a lost man

In a lost world

The values I hold true

Have withered and died

I am now completely

Nothing inside

I’m not lost, I haven’t miss spoken

My morals and values

Are no longer sought out

For this world, we now live

From here on out

End

This book may seem dark and gloomy

But my heart is full of love, not doom

The goal of this is to teach all

That life is life, it may or may not have an end

Stop and breathe and move again

Don’t dwell on past things, just remember the moments

Of joy and happiness

It’s okay to feel such pain and misery

The key is to gain open visibility

Learn to cope, find your peace

Create an outlet for you to reach

I may seem sad, I may seem broken

But my heart is pure, and my eyes are open

Everyone is different, and each situation

But one commonality is help is always open

I found my help in the form of writing

I’m not looking for fame or fortune

Simply share human emotions

We are social in nature, looking for a bond

The lesson to take from this

Is that life is a journey

Don’t let it beat you down, or you’ll miss all the beauty
