Favorite Quote:
Art is the essence of love, love is the essence of art.
I'd rather have a thousand regrets because I thought with my heart than play it safe and think with my mind, never knowing what was out there.
The world has a voice. You just have to give it permission to speak


Oh, I can hear the violin playing in the back ground…
Oh, I can hear the quiet tears…
For the dead who left all a sudden…
And a child whom had been here for years…

Oh, I can see the girl in my head…
She sits by the window and cries…
Hoping for a better tomorrow…
And that all of her enemies die…

Oh, I can feel the sadness upon her…
I can feel the distress that she hides…
To keep everyone else calm and comfortable…
And to keep the little sliver of pride…

Oh, I can hear the sound of the violin…
New grief and sorrow, they’ve found…
As the Preacher says kind words of sympathy…
And my corpse descends into the ground..

These poems were written during a two year depressive stage I went through, caused by abuse from a family member.
