I've Been There

By Cornan Grant

If you have ever experience moments in life where you felt alone in love, marriage or just not accepted. Cornan's writings are deep and heart piercing. His book is about experiences that will captivate your mind. Have you ever been in love or been with someone but didn't know the reason why? Have you lived a life of hardship and bad relationships but felt the presence of GOD through it all?

Cornan writes on different venues of life such as; love, relationship, marriage, cheating, church, life, work and people of the world. He encourages people to live and appreciate life as it is and accept people for who they are and not for who we wish them to be. He understands that the world is meant for change and his poetry expresses the changes we may go through as children, teenagers and adults. His life journey shows no matter what we go through someone can relate and "No matter how hard life gets there's always words to comfort you!" And God is real!

BECAUSE OF THE PAIN

When It Rains Inside

When it rains inside

Water flows like a fireman’s hose

Like being in a room full of smoke

My soul has been burned by flames

It helps, when it rains inside

How can I survive this nightmare, my heart is rushing

Emotions are boiling, steam is shooting

Please poor water on me

My soul is on fire; I am thankful when it rains inside

So much pain, I am in pain, so much pain

I cry silently, my tears are dry

But still it rains inside

I sleep but my mind is wide open

My thoughts are like needles sticking in my spine

I feel the pain and it burns

I am relieved–When it rains inside!

YOU ARE IN LOVE

When that special someone is around you

You are speechless and your imagination is running wild

And all you want to do is embrace with that person

You just want them to
