Welcome to Thru My Words. This is mainly a hub, so to speak, for information regarding my books and stuff. I will post poetry on here as well as news about upcoming events and signings. I have just signed contract on my second book, Refections In My Tears. I hope to have it out fall 2006. Please keep an eye out for it! As for what else I've been doing~ After pretty much keeping my writing's to myself for the last 20 some odd years, I decided last year to seek out a publisher. I did, however have a lot of pushing-friends, family and my loving poetry community that I have met here. I signed my contract in the fall of 2005 and my first book, "Petals of Life:A Survivor's Writings" suddenly came to life. From waiting for each email from my publisher to proof this and that to the final look at my cover-it has came together. I want to say thank you first and formost. The friends I have made over the last 2+ years are what made me decide to publish. You all have been so supportive. Your feedbacks, encouraging words and just friendship is has meant so much to me. To my readers, a huge thank you goes out to you. For if no one ever read my work, then I never would have published. God bless you all and may this year be outstanding for you all! Your awesome!!
Sincerely,
Candice M. Martin

Memory Lane
Written: September 27, 2004
I cried again today-
Memories coming through a haze.
The pain they bring is slowly killing me-
I fear I’ll never be truly free.
I have no where to run-
Once the memories have begun.
Trapped is all I feel-
The world around me moves, yet I am still.
I can’t go forth and back wards only brings more pain-
Blackness, anger and thoughts I’m going insane.
Where is the freedom I long for?
Why can’t I find the door?
Will these memories ever cease?
Am I to never have peace?
Daddy can’t hurt me any longer-
Yet he feels so much stronger!
He has power over my mind-
Where is the haven I long to find?
I tell myself that he isn’t going to win-
That what he did was the ultimate sin!
He’s in my thoughts, even though he’s dead-
I still hear those words he said-
“Tell no one, for I’ll cause you more pain-”
“And remember you’re the one to blame!”
If I am to blame, then what is it that I did?
I only wanted to be a kid!
Yet now I am haunted by this past-
Never knowing how long the next memory will last.
I unwillingly walk down this Memory Lane-
Filled with nothing but hurt, anger and pain!
I try to awake-anything to make the memories end-
But once awake, I realize I’ve only caused them to suspend.
Memories suspended back on Memory Lane-
They await my return-once more looking to stake their claim.
If these memories don’t kill me, they will drive me insane-
But as father said-“Always remember you’re to blame!”
