I was hurt
And you were there
Standing in a noisy silence
With the pain I gave you to bear
You tensed in anger of love
Faded faintly your hands
Across your face smearing tears
Into the tips of your fingers
Enveloped into the cloud of retreat
You stood over my enemies
Blinded by the rage
Of speechless defeat
Surrounded in darkness
Beneath the fire of hidden flames
Your mind now wilted
Without regard for my roaring pain
Saying nothing
Only the dousing horror
From the beams of your stare
I knew what not to dare
I know of your strength
And what you pushed through
Nothing would condense you
So long as I needed you
I spoke and you conjured to me
Hugging my head into your chest
Pleading in silence ever so violently
To obviate the pain in all its entirety
Circling through dubiety
As I watched you so tiredly
Planning to forge a weapon
That would exile anxiety
You said nothing
You just felt it
You took it
Without question, you saved me
To bear all my fears
Through internal agony
Overcoming my tears
In the darkness of tragedy

Over time he grew into more and more experiences with family issues and external frustration, he used that frustration of not being heard as a power that could tell his side of the story. He validated himself through writing, and now it is his true passion to reach people who suffer from the same things he did.. You can follow on Twitter or Instagram @thelettersoflee.
