What DO you see when you look at me?
Do you despise me as much as you shout?
I'm stupid.
I don't know what's going on in the world
and of course
I'm wrong.
You don't even hear what I stand for, tho
Do you?
Do you?
You're too full on yourself.
Making sure you are who you say you are.
Thinking of how to save the world
but neglecting to care for those around you
Sure. I know.
You have your friends.
You all care for each other.
I UNDERSTAND!
Don't shout at me
I'm not listening??
You haven't heard a word I said
at least i'm not shouting at you...
WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
