Panic Attack

I am in the midst of a panic attack and usually I would pace myself into oblivion and let these wild thoughts race through my mind and coarse into my veins and completely take over any logic or reason that would be clinging on...but today I am trying to write through it...it's incredibly hard, it's …

My Moon

Each breath a struggle Inhaling and exhaling the names of lovers that went wrong Of relationships tossed around On the raging sea of my veins Delivering blow after blow of what could have been, should have been, what will never be again Straight into that mother vessel whose name is Heart A strength changing with …

Peddling my soul

So I woke up this morning wondering what exactly I had left to sell to help me make ends meet. Being a writer is hard work, there are so many of us out there and so many people want us to write for free, for notoriety, for "experience". So I thought about the contents of …

My, my, my. Men

I am always, always, always in a state of self awareness and analysis. My brain almost never shuts off...it gets quieter when I am driving or when I am at the ocean but for the most part it is a non-stop 24/7 machine and no I am not talking about my biological functioning heart, muscles, neurons …
