Favorite Quote:
Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.
Graham Greene


I am an eternal ember, always in flames burning bright, lighting the path to my destiny. I walk along the shore, something I have done before but this time it’s different, I’m alone not with him, alone. He left me shattered and broken on the side of the road like a broken wheel and I felt alone. The ember burning within set my soul ablaze and the fire within light my heart and turned it to stone, because of you. All because of your treason, and the way you treated me and because of that I can’t love, I can’t feel. I’m a blaze setting the world on fire all because you left. Now I’m lost, not being able to feel the cold, because I’m an ember and I can’t be burned.

I wrote this piece from my heart, mostly because my soul felt ablaze.
