Poetry Series – Psychosis
I haven’t been writing and I’ll say it’s because I didn’t have time but feel free to call my bullshit and acknowledge my unwillingness to prioritize the things that are important for me, even amidst that chaos.

Poetry Series – Competition
I’m finding myself worn down by seeing just how deeply fighting has been engrained in our culture(s). We say we’re advancing but keep the need to survive alive.

Poetry Series – Growing Pains
The hardest thing to remember about growing is that not everyone will grow at the same rate. There will be times you grow so tall that the world as you know it is seen from a whole new perspective. We call this a shift. Some people will say in consciousness. I’m not sure if I’mContinue reading “Poetry Series – Growing Pains”
Poetry Series – Devil Disguised
I have this fear that someday someone will take me too literally. Maybe they won’t see that I’m just a very visual learner so lessons come a little more vividly to me. I have this fear that I’ll be 302’d, called crazy. I’d say the Devil passed that on to me but like I said,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Devil Disguised”
