John Nieuwenhuizen Poems

Alone I was born to blood of ties
Unknowingly forged by hand and lies

Alone I grew with clay and straw
...

I want to escape, never asking for forgiveness
Away from my soul, scared by innocence and betrayal
Away from my emotions, fueled by the love of those close to me
Away from feelings, manifested in my heart, without despair, but with desire
...

Vulnerability is when fear makes a decision

When the echoes of the voice inside your head lashes itself
...
