Guess who had a tooth pulled and figured out pain meds make them go a little off the deep end 😇 Anyway peep the new poem from the depths of my paranoia

The Holidays are a difficult time for me and it was especially hard this year. But we keep writing and we keep living.

This one came to mind as I stared at myself after shaving one morning. I had been sad for a long time and could see it damaging the people around me. It's difficult when you know you're sick but can't do anything about it

In case it wasn't clear, I really resent urban life and miss the forest so much.

Almost three months ago now, I found the journal that I wrote my y first fumbling poems in. I hadn't given a thought to them since writing them and looking at them after years gave me an uncanny valley feeling. Anyway, here's what I wrote about that

This is my most recent poem (for the moment). And don't forget, I post everything on PoetrySoup first and the link to all my work is pinned!

It's raining this morning and I was up too late.

I think I'd like to write the poem surrounding this one some day but the rough edges on this felt like a part of the art. This was torn away from the original, not given by choice.

Anyway, here's a poem about how I miss the rural life I grew up in. I could always find some comfort in the first that I can't find in an empty parking lot

By far my most popular poem on PoetrySoup. The "brother" in question called me weak and fragile at my lowest and through it all I wondered for so long how it could be my fault, what I did to cause it.

It should go without saying but I am fully, wholly, and completely anti AI. Know that when you read my work, the most complex machinery that has touched it is spell check. Words connect the heart and mind together, and I refuse to let anything replace either part

Today's poem is the first one I had written after nearly two years without a pen. In a way, it helped catapult me back into the process of writing and expressing emotions and for that it'll always be special to me.
