The Black Labyrinth (Poem)

 Why is it so dark in here? Am I still holding onto the fear? Or is my mind playing tricks on me? Is everything I see and feel completely insincere?

Why does this keep happening to me? What did I do wrong? People probably think I am crazy, they come into my life before simply moving along.

Maybe I don't deserve people for they could never understand me. Heck I don't even understand me half the time, who knows what it could be.

No matter how much of my flesh I take, no matter how many times I pray. The voices in my head simply refuse to just go away.

I'm not crazy, I know I'm crazy. Maybe I need some rest for my mind is still a bit hazy. 

What does all of this even mean? I'm trying my best to stay positive and keep mind my mind and heart clean. But trapped inside is a nasty fiend.

Just leave me alone, I don't want to be a bother. Am I good enough for any of you, including you Heavenly Father?

Pain and suffering is all that I have ever known, it is hard to get away. I'm just tired of all of this fighting from within, I wish I could start a new day, this I pray.

But I can't stop without seeing my scars, they are everywhere! Could somebody please just hold me and show that you care. I understand that life isn't fair, but I really don't want to be stuck in this cold and empty chair.

My failures continue to haunt me, just another mark I have to make. I'm sick of all this sadness and heartache.

Trapped inside this nasty box has brought me an interesting perspective. My mind can be a cruel place and it is completely defective. But all my attempts to fix this have proven to be ineffective. Maybe I need to settle down and be more reflective.

I refused to give up hope. I am just scared that I don't figure this out soon, I could end up being at the end of my rope.

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

 Recently, I had found out that a family friend of ours named Nick Dickson had a stroke and people have been doing what they can to support him and his family. Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
