Sometimes my opinions are so strong, I worry they’ll erupt from my body. I try to keep calm, and level my voice as I explain in hopes that they’ll be more well-received. I acknowledged that I don’t even know how much of a place I have to hold such strong views on the issue soContinue reading “Poetry Series – To the Dicks”

Poetry Series – Naming Trauma
I’ve been absent with my writing more often than not lately. The truth is I only write, I can only seem to write, when the words flow through me without thought.
