I have to explain some things about this blog that are important for everyone who reads this to know. I have a very dark view of the world. Writing is an escape from the world that in my eyes isn’t made for creative people. I feel like the world is made for people to follow trends and be pulled off the edge of the world if being a follower is the only route worth traveling.
What I write isn’t for everyone. Between the vulgar language, disregard for what is deemed as appropriate by society, and breaking most of the silent rules we’re forced to accept there is a message. And I may not have a regular schedule or space my posts out like I probably should if the goal is to grow this blog, but really want to at least know that my words can have an impact.
My words definitely aren’t pretty, but they hit home. And if they hit home with someone, great. Maybe I was the voice that opened someone’s eyes to a new perspective.
If my words don’t hit home and they’re ignored… I’ll still be in the same place where I’ve always been and continue to create as my therapy.
To anyone who has read one of the poems I wrote so far I sincerely thank you. Thank you to anyone who lets friends, family, or whoever know about my blog because it helps a lot. As an artist it feels good to know that people are looking at what I write.
I hope you all get something from these poems!
