I know my place in life like the palm of my hand That is to say I don't remember all these lines They are as distinct to me as each grain of sand Funny how, from a distance, they look so refined If I could remember my lines, perhaps I'd speak The words I'm supposed to... Continue Reading →
Writing the Beast
Broad-shouldered beasts Against a downtrodden me In pride, bear their teeth Blinding my tenacity Slouching, I come to greet In worn shoes from dragged feet With a sigh, I take my seat The pen my weapon, these words my feat You have no idea what it took to lay these words for all to...

All Systems Go
Sometimes you just don't know Sometimes you don't wanna know Sometimes it's your heart Sometimes you don't know where to start Take in the scene Take in the gentle breeze Don't worry if it's more Life doesn't stop for storms All systems go In a race for the stars Towards a new home A...
