Favorite Quote:
“The words you can’t find, you borrow. We read to know we’re not alone. We read because we are alone. We read and we are not alone. We are not alone. My life is in these books, he wants to tell her. Read these and know my heart. We are not quite novels. The analogy he is looking for is almost there. We are not quite short stories. At this point, his life is seeming closest to that. In the end, we are collected works.” ― Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry


I write to be free.
I write to stop existing.
I write to play God.

Spreading my wings out
Where no one can see me live
I control it all.

No laws to bind me,
No eyes to judge my choices,
Just me and my mind.

I write to pass time.
I write to pass on my time.
I write to be me.

I wanted to try a longer poem consisting of 5-7-5 Haikus.
