Stories

I write poetry or verse and I write short stories. I express myself through words. I write for me. I find that it helps me ride between worlds. What I find fascinating is that we are thrown into this exisitence and I happen to wonder why and how. Some of this wonderment of mine happens to come out in my poetry as dark. I am grateful to those people who have read my writing and can express their feelings about my poems to me. They can have conversations with me about the words, or the emotions they evoked or didn't evoke. I don't expect awards, I don't expect people to like them.

What I didn't expect was friends not to acknowledge them or to fluff them off as too personal to talk about. Don’t be afraid of the words. They cannot hurt you or me. Writing can only make someone pause and influence ways of viewing things, if you are open. At worst you will go back to the safe world you already know. But I do believe, change is the only true meaning of existence.
