Escaping the Darkness of My Heart

By Kendra J. Williams

Within the pages of this book, you will experience the depth of my personal feelings from different times in my life. Things may appear rough and raw, but these things are the feelings of someone who isnt afraid to express herself through her words. You could be that person that is afraid to speak on the issue, but I spoke on the issue for you. You might find yourself saying, That is me. I am the one you speak of. Within the reflection of the mirror, there was only a skeleton, and within that skeleton was a hole.

Let these words flow,
like my fear flows,
freely and without hesitation.
Let these words
show you the raw and rough
as I stand before you feed up and confused.
Let these words
flow into your heart.
Let these words
pierce your soul and set you free.
Let these words
cast a cloud over the hurt and pain that is within.
Let these words.

Kendra J. Williams

It all started with me writing to express my emotions—until I realized that my words actually spoke the silent inner voice of someone else. I started getting excited about writing, and when new ideas would pop up in my mind, I realized this was meant for me: that this was my gift. I have been writing poetry since I was in middle school, and that’s when I realized I wanted to write a book and be published. I have three short stories that I wrote in high school, which I have hidden away. I am a twenty-seven-year-old from a small town in North Carolina that has a vision to one day have a book in the bookstore.

About The Author

DEDICATION

To my mother who has always pushed me to become exactly what I dreamed of. She has always told me the word can’t does not belong in your vocabulary.

In the mist of any storm you are not alone. ~Kendra

Tears don’t always mean sadness

And tears don’t always mean fear

Tears are a form of letting go

Letting go

Doesn’t happen overnight

Healing doesn’t take place in one day

The reflection in the mirror tells a story of strength

You have yet to discover this strength

But it’s there

Within

Deep down inside

With each day

Grows a newfound love for life

This is just the beginning of the storms to come

It’s up to you if you want to weather it or not

The reflection in the mirror

Shows the weakest thought

You’re only as strong as your weakest thought

Look around

Next to you sits

Someone that has been hurting too

You are not alone

Alone you are not

Wipe the tears away with laughter

Your heart is heavy

And heavy is your heart

But alone you are not

ALONE YOU ARE NOT

ANGRY

Yes that Facebook status is about you

You ugly

But she is uglier

It’s not the appearance

But the way she carries herself

The cockiness

The no doubt

The strong statements

The way she speaks

That mirror you are looking in

Isn’t full length

You don’t need the full length for the appearance of the outer beauty

But the inner beauty as well

You think its about outer

When its about the inner

Those scars you have

On your legs are from inner anger

You are angry about the status

Not because its mean

But because its
