    About this ebook

    Tyler P. Love was born into a home filled with suppressed emotions and pain. Following his parents divorce, he resorted to drugs, alcohol, and, eventually, one failed suicide attempt. He felt broken, lost, and alone until he found poetry. The written word became his emotional outlet; it also paved the road to his recovery.

    Welcome to My Humble Abode is a collection of Loves early and more recent poetry, arranged as a piercing look into the mind of a troubled teen. As an adolescent, Love experienced love and lost it. He experienced the deaths of those close to him. He has suffered through depression and survived, with the aid of poetry.

    Troubled children are not alone. There are always others who have gone through similar tough times, and Love is a prime example. He thought he was alone until he found poetry. No child should ever suffer without hope, so this is what Loves words attempt to give. They reach out to heal. They reach out to embrace.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      PREFACE

      This book is a collection of poems written over many years. They progress over time and tell of my life; finding love and losing it, happiness and depression, pain and anger, losing and keeping faith, the feelings of a boy and how they become the understandings of a man.

      Grieve

      I’m running

      as hard and as fast as I can

      trying to get away

      but all I’m doing

      is losing a day

      in my short unfulfilled life

      if you may call it that

      the lies

      the secrets

      the untold facts

      all I can do

      is turn my back

      and let my life go to hell

      because there isn’t anything I can do

      can’t you tell

      don’t you hear that bell

      the bell that just keeps ringing

      it just tells me

      my time is coming near

      all this fear I hide inside

      this is no place to hide

      its a scary

      dark place

      where nothing

      goes unseen

      no matter how bad you wish

      it was you who dies

      the world has gone away in my day

      and has left me here

      to rot in
