Favorite Quote:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”


I’m at the bottom
Of this pit
The broken shards
Of dark blue glass
Transparent and
Deadly
Broken through
The rough and
Calloused skin
It never stays
No!
For that does it
Not the justice it
Deserves
And the clouded
Sky above opens
Up and shows
Even the heavens
Are disturbed
For nobody
Truly knows how
I feel.
Not even myself
Because that
Is something
I’d rather
Not know
The answer to
If thats alright.
