Win a $15 GC: Addiction to Poetry by Trevor Muir

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Trevor Muir will be awarding a $15 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

This book is a compilation of all the poems I have written in my life. Each one comes from a very personal place within me. Some of the poems truly show me at my most fearful, sad, and lonely moments in my life, and others are examples of how I was feeling at a time when I was desperate and lost all hope.

Some are of love, hope, a general wonder or curiosity, and accomplishment, and others came from the experiences of people closest to me.

I have added a page that briefly describes where the inspiration for the poem(s) came from, to help better tell the story. For me, poems and writing became a personal outlet. They have given me a safe way to express my thoughts and feelings.

I hope you enjoy them. If they are at all relatable than that’s even better. I hope that those who read these, and identify with them, will see that no matter how rough life may seem at any given time, it can get better if you just keep going.

Although the poems within these pages may be a bit random and unorganized, as is my life sometimes, they are raw and real. They are as I wrote them at that time.

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read any or all of them, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I am sure my Mom will.

I lie awake in darkness

This one is very personal to me. I wrote it during those days when I was so lost. Although I could logically see how good my life was, I didn’t feel it. Instead I was very lonely, sad, confused and, truthfully, full of fear. I haven’t shared my poems with many people, especially this one, but I wanted to include it. I’m not sure how many people will relate to it, but someday someone might be feeling this way. If so, please know that I felt this way too, and came through to the other side. Anyway, I feel like this one is a step toward opening myself up... – Trev

I lie awake in darkness, but there’s

bright light all around me.

My visions nearly perfect, but I can barely see.

My mind’s not calm and steady, it races on and on.

Sometimes I think that it won’t stop

until my sanity is gone.

The noise that echoes in my ears hasn’t any sound,

And just adds to my confusion as my

world goes around and round.

I pray that there’s a heaven, though

sometimes it’s hard to tell.

There are times in my life when I

know that there’s a hell.

These are moments when there’s

agony in every single breath.

These are moments I’m afraid of life,

but more afraid of death.
