Currently residing in: Temperance, MI
Age: 30
Education: A.S. in biology, B.S. in sociology When I started writing poetry: Although I have one poem dating back to 1997, I consider three poems I wrote in 2000 to be the real beginning.
Note: This is the first in a three-part series.
Nowhere, I'm going nowhere
Surely all these rules are to blame
...
This cannot continue, I must be free
But how can I kill this monstrosity?
It feeds off of depression, apathy, and anxiety
While murdering every thing good in me
...
I walk the dry land once more, but in a new way
Steps made with confidence, I know where I go, I do not hesitate
The surging, turbulent sea nearly drowned me
But a Savior came and held me above the waters
...
Spoken shadows flash with dark lightning all their own;
Have you been struck? , for I see an ominous glow.
Darkness that illuminates light with shadow,
Falsehoods consume you with deadly fire you blindly feed.
...
I look up to the sky this lonely night
I find no hope, no light
The stars have fallen tonight
I stand there and all is silence
...
