Favorite Quote:
"Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together."--Marilyn Monroe


Sometimes I feel as if I am a lurking shadow,

The dark one who contrasts on the bright white snow.

Ever so cautious of the words I speak,

Trying to not stand out but not come off as too weak.

 

Fictitious realities engulf my mind.

I am not naive, but it seems like I am blind

To every hint people send towards me,

To every notion that I cannot perceive.

I am trying to find my way in this cruel world

Full of jumbles of chatter and never ending words.

I love creative writing, especially poetry, song lyrics, and stories. Here is an example of a short poem that I have recently written.
