Fantasy VS Reality: Part IV (FINAL)
Why can’t you grasp it? I kept asking myself this You know it’s poison Slowly killing you from the inside Out Like buying the sweetest candy Known in the world Hard, crunchy shell Soft, delicate center Its glimmer makes every mouth —water Its shimmer so appetizing You feel compelled to take a bite And you bite…

Fantasy VS Reality: Part III
If you’ve been keeping up with the series (Part I, Part II) then you know it’s been getting increasingly more intense. This one is no different. Needless to say, it becomes harder and harder for me to continue this so I earnestly ask that you pray with me for courage to face the things I’ve…

Fantasy VS Reality: Part I
FANTASY VS REALITY: PART I — THE DANGERS OF ROMANTICISM Who knows why I chose to keep pushing this off for an insanely long time. Perhaps because I still wrestle with this a lot, even being as old as I am. And I also suppose it’s because most of the time I like writing pieces about…

A cry birthed from the desperation for change, tormented souls knowing that change was in order and we needed it ever so badly… So all…

New Year, New Poem
SHALLOW BREATHS I said I loved writing so much That to tell me to stop doing it Was as if to order me To stop breathing altogether I stopped breathing I stopped doing everything For quite awhile, in fact But the pain that comes from —the loss of life Keeps bringing me back I want…

The Editing Process
I don’t want to be here next year. That’s what I keep thinking to myself as I look back over the year thus far and all the other years prior. I’m tired of constantly finding myself in the same situation—the exact same situation—every year. However, I’m also tired of making excuses for why I’m not…
