  I am.

  

  By spiritwriter, Long Island, NY

  I dissent for the sake of controversy I aim for shock value. I thrive on difference and dissonance. I am the girl you should run from, but can’t help but be drawn toward. I don’t give a damn about my reputation. I am an entire generation. I love, dream, wonder, swear, ...

  Welcome Home.

  

  By spiritwriter, Long Island, NY

  When your heart is halfway around the world, It's hard to know where you are Or where you stand Like traveling the globe Without a map You're lost without him, and you can't help it All the days, Subtracted And added up all over again The time spent waiting For a call to...

  By spiritwriter, Long Island, NY

  Raw flesh Melted together tangled hearts, empty without one another unfinished sentences, interrupted by kisses inbetween unforeseen declarations of love no glances at the clock time is only a feeble concept of the mind between two bodies, time is nothing; it's frozen, anyway...

  Drones: Part II

  

  By spiritwriter, Long Island, NY

  By spiritwriter, Long Island, NY

  Materialism is one of my biggest grievances about humanity. I personally and firmly believe that if we all stopped wanting so much, we would be able to coexist more peacefully.

  Broken.

  

  By spiritwriter, Hicksville, NY

  I'll show you I don't need you without showing you at all I don't owe you a thing The song in my head won't remind me of you the feelings I felt will turn sour soon you're nothing more than just a bad taste in my mouth there's nothing left don't tr...
