The Muzz

So you want to know Muzz, what's he all about, what makes him so different, what’s story does he have to tell. What's his inspiration, muse if you will, let's take a deeper look, into Muzz's little world.... Muzz can be shy, quite withdrawn to a few, he's very selective who he lets in, only a selection get through. There's no free ride on Muzz's Chu Chu train, you get one chance, then he'll send you on your way. Muzz is not small, obese to the eye, but he thinks he's not, only a small man resides. With a hard looking exterior, that keeps people at bay, just the way Muzz likes it, cos it keeps the A-holes away. Muzz has been an alcoholic, drug addict, bulimic, anorexic too, border line schizophrenic, with voices and all too. He's been homeless, in jail, in lots of trouble with the law, from aggravated robbery to shoplifting from the store. Muzz has loved and lost, had to start over and over again, He's been on the bones of his ****, where begging for food was his only option. But even in the face of such adversities, Muzz never bowed out. He simple chalked it up to life experience; he always got up from the count. Like not everything Muzz has done, would look right in a lot of eyes, he done it out of necessity, he done it so he could survive. But in Muzz's little world, where he finds time to write, he writes about his shames, to teach other people about life.... M.Mahauariki © 2008
