I grew up as a dreamer in a single-family home. I wasn’t that different from my peers. However, most TV shows depicted two parent families or co-parenting which involved parents that were separated but did whatever they had to do to make it work out.

Being Alive
I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive. — Joseph Campbell I have spent far too long waiting for my life to finally begin. We are going to die, and I refuse to live one more minute of my lifeContinue reading “Being Alive”
Empty Fields
Ah here comes the depth Here comes the midnight walks In an empty field filled with ghosts And blood and Screams from so many past lives I’ve been here too many times To care much about the escape I’ve come this time to dance With the shadows -Sasch
Her Looming Shadow
I spin her round Like a top No, more like a dance partner She’s mad She’s not interested in being spoken to this way What does she know? She asks the heavens And I dig in I know about the sex I know about the dirty little things she does when she thinks nobody’s lookingContinue reading “Her Looming Shadow”

Uncategorized Writing
I write to get it of my chest To experience my thoughts as a mirror To experiment thoughts I haven’t quite thought I write so you aren’t alone So I’m not alone To have something to reflect on And to prepare myself for the worst To get myself through the worst It’s truth It’s fictionContinue reading “Uncategorized Writing”
Art It Up
“There is something collective in art especially art done in solitude.” If you’re feeling like the world is getting to you, like you just can’t get a break, make some art. You will still hurt. You will still be soft but every time you share your guts, one more person will be less alone. ButContinue reading “Art It Up”
