Some day, I want to be an old man that people tell stories about. I'm not sure I'll care exactly what it is people say about me at that point in my life, but as a 24 year old, it amuses me to consider I might do something of significance without knowing it. My great-grandfather on... Continue Reading →
I Choose My Bane
Mine is a heart on the wing yet a mind seemingly left a step behind from thence erupts my temerity and my placid joy. Sluggishness does not accompany my thoughts rather, in frenetic candor does it overlook its own myopic tendency such is it that my Love is an aginner. This fecklessness leaves no opportunity for...

All Systems Go

Ruminations of a Working Man, Pt. V

I wake up and look in the mirror Cringe at the disheveled sight Every imperfection Blemished cheeks and bloodshot eyes My every critique Every Part Of Me Has me screaming My nose grows Every line in my face now creasing So seemingly Devoid of beauty, destined to be the beast... So I step back And... Continue Reading →
