Publishing
Hello everyone, I just wanted to announce that I have begun the process of looking for a publisher. It is not the long form project I expected it would be, but instead poetry! I will be working on finalizing all the poems I have made during the past year. Cleaned up, checked for grammar and…

Laughter Poem
A party of absurdity. Every guest a clown to the other. Your laughter makes me laugh. Until I can no longer breathe. Tears streaming down my face. Absurdity in reaction to the absurd. *** Does not matter if the absurdity is made from the good or bad. The reaction is always the same. Shock that…

Letter To My Dad
To the object of my pain and loathing. You wonder why I can be so cold to you. The reason why is because I remember. I remember because you never give me time to heal. I am surrounded by signs of you not caring about me or those I love. I want to return back…

Traits Poem
I got body image issues from one. Early control that had long lasting impact. Emulated behavior that placed looks above golden happiness. Worry of judgment that became my own. At an early age looking sadly at the thickness of my arms. Trying to do what was portrayed as right and realizing it was unobtainable. ***…

Patience Poem
I have been commended on my patience. A medal I sometimes display on my chest broadly. Other times hidden in my sock drawer out of my own line of sight. It always exists, I just do not always consider it the same. A shift of behavior that surprises many. Seemingly vibrant contradiction. *** That vibrancy…

The Mask Poem
I want to rip it off. Does not matter if it has become your face by now. The blood can fly. Does not matter if it is yours or mine. As long as it is no longer a part of you. Destroyed beyond use. *** I was so confused when I realized that you wore…
