- Poetry > Free VerseThin, deformed bones sticking out dejected, rejected Hunger feeds on their hope until Nothing is left, but waiting, anticipating, expecting the certain Death that awaits them. Charity, but what is that given, when it has been Discarded? Giving no longer a feeling that consumes you in it...
- Nonfiction > Personal ExperienceThere is that time in our lives, every year, every week, sometimes every day, when everything seems to fall away. Darkness takes over you and you just want to break down. People become self-centered idiots and you struggle to stay on top of it all. You’re at that point where one person, or action,...
