I rejected form.
I rejected meter.
I rejected editing.
I rejected reading.

I'm a flash in the pan.
I'm fueled by emotions.
I'm emboldened by scars.

I wonder how far I could go
if I took the time to study.
If...

All around we see decay,
seems suffering’s here to stay,
compounded by needless strife,
wasting thus, the gift of life.

plunging us in delusion.

The darkness of what we speak,
veils...

In all you say and do.
It is you.

Tell your story.
Make your mark.

dwells in my mind.
Poetry.
Is the voice in...
