My name is Haley Akin. I am a mother of 2, Pryor my oldest went to heaven at the age of 15 months, and Chloe is his little sister. I write poetry because it allows me to express how I am feeling, and it helps me deal with my grief. My husband tells me my poems are good, but I'm sure he is a little biased. I hope you all enjoy my poems as much as I enjoy writing them.
I have a facebook page called An Angel At Her Side Poetry that is dedicated to my son that you can like if you want.

I'm afraid to break the wall
And live inside of me
I had forced myself outside
I don't know what I would see
...
My mind... it is tired
This body is too weak
I am spent with all the effort
Of the oppressors I can't beat
...
When little they flowed over freely
And were so hard then to stop
But now they stifle before starting
I can't even manage a drop
...
