So many voices of people pulling me in all directions. Yet, I remain here. Stuck. Wondering if I'm too far gone. To do something meaningful with my life. Header Photo Credit to Pexels.comhttps://www.pexels.com/photo/man-in-gray-long-sleeve-shirt-sitting-on-brown-wooden-chair-5255996/
The wall between us is so thin. That I can hear the laughter coming from your side. Try to keep the music down. So I can wallow in the quiet. https://www.pexels.com/photo/young-woman-drinking-on-windowsill-5279985/
A lonesome soul. Watching the wayward water droplets race against the window glass. Wrapped up in a blanket of darkness and stars. Do not believe the deceiver living in your brain. Even as their words get harder to ignore. They add pressure to your chest. Midnight thoughts bleed into the sunrise. Usually the light is... Continue Reading →
A storm just passed. The quiet settles in. A moment to catch my breath. A rest stop on the side of the street. A place for travelers to gather. Underneath a fluorescent lamp which attracts the moths. Take a seat and have a rest with me. We can share this quiet moment. No turmoil to divide or... Continue Reading →

So many imperfections cobbled together. Is it supposed to be a man? Or a work of modern art? Does it feel at odds with the world? Does it feel at all? Project your feelings on it. Personify it. Make it a deal and trade it a wish. It is ethereal. It is human. It is... Continue Reading →
I'm lost without your wild heart leading me. Directionless and neglected. No North star leading me from the wilderness. A savage land where I cannot stake my claim. How could you just run and leave me abandoned? Just walking long abandoned paths. Overgrown bushes with their spiky thorns. Left me bleeding and disoriented. If I start a fire and let the...

I would rather stand before a jury of my peers. Than find myself standing before a mirror. Looking at my reflection. The image of a man already hanged. "Let the hanged man speak!"
