I haven't posted here in a long while but I'm approaching the age limit for this site and some some significant changes, so I thought I'd post one last thing as a personnel farewell. mostly, though, I just want to document my appreciation to teenink in this little "about" section.
Posting my crap on this sight helped me rise above my own s***ty little situations  and it made me feel heard when I felt like I didn't have much of a voice. Mostly though, it allowed me to be comfortable with my writing and made me realize I don't want to live without it. Lately I've been still writing fervently and started setting it to music with my meager equipment and skill when I I'm home and get the chance.

This poem is from a little song, which can be heard here: https://thedogofthenorth.bandcamp.com/track/with-the-bark-ripped-off-ver-2
It's kind of about goodbyes so I found it appropriate.
