I was never angry before all of this
I spent my time searching for life's bliss
But then I met you and all that changed
Now all I can do is rant at life and rage

This is not me, I'm a man of peace not of war
I don't know what made me leave what I was before
Did I change because of you or beacuse of me?
All I know is when I look in the mirror, I don't like what I see

I'll not give in to your anger and pain
I will be the man I was once again
I'll find the life that I once knew
And I'll do it with or without you

In this you are hurting and I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I hope it gets better soon.

an unusually dark and sad piece from our Sven...we all know this feeling...when someone hurts us to the point that they make us reflect on the changes their pain brings to our life. you have expressed that very well in this...perfect for here in the dark
take care, jm

 The stars shine so bright, now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face,
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close.
Now I will reach for the stars...
Because Oh my love, that's where you are...
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine
And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea...

Sven,
There comes a time when we must let go of the anger to get to what is beneath it.  Perhaps, you will find that life then.  maybe it is right before your eyes....only the anger is in the way of your seeing?  
Excellent poem....Good message.

I know so many people that are described in your poem, I just wish they knew how to express it the way you do. Hope things are getting better for you

Finding yourself is hard, it is one of the reasons i write.  It is alson one of the reasons i believe i looked for a site like this, know that there are others out there dealing with problems like myself does not make it seem as bad.  This is well writen, nice.

 There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

Ouch - can relate well my friend.  You know your heart - hold true to the man you know you are.
