: About Me

I'm a quaint creature who roams in the woods, turning thoughts into things and ideas into items. It takes very little to please me in the realm where shadow meets light. Interesting as it may sound, the depths of my sorrow and heights of my laughter is what keeps this world going - and is enough for me.

Imagine, if you will, the inside of a pen. Most see a tube containing ink with some sort of ball point fashioning where the ink spills onto the paper creating words. I see a hollow tube full of endless lives which are mine to create or destroy. The complexity of which only a true writer can understand.

To be inside someone else's head, to have no control of their thoughts... Yours is to interpret the pain or happiness into symbols for others to understand.

Fear not, for I am good at what I do, and I hope you all enjoy the deepest reach of a darkened mind!

My passion is ...

connecting with and understanding others.

I know too much about ...

my best friend.

My parents always told me ...

"You were a mistake!"

My childhood ambition ...

was to leave my family and create my own life!

My favorite memory ...

is remembering anything at all... on the fritz lately!

Why I write ...

I write to release energy - negative or positive!

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm about to watch the back of my eyelids!

My first job ...

was at a movie theater!

My inspiration ...

is being through what I have and still being here...

Man in the Mirror Give me the pain you felt yesterday Through the night we fade away Into tomorrow Your eyes face changes to sullen to bare Defiled to an empty stare Beyond the fire Release me unto your soul And let me know You're ready to share your hurt Crippled in fear, a moving shadow creeks the door Wallowing in doubt saves the ash to scorn Another day Save yourself the shedding of tears Oh, man in the mirror Give me your pain
