The Longest Shadow Ever Cast...

About Me


I’m so grateful for every heartbreak, for everything that came my way that didn’t want to happen at that time...
They say that the world holds billions of secrets in the stars. The moon with her grace shines her radiant light down into my bedroom window. I pick up that pen that I hold on to dear life. A pad of paper that lays on my dresser among other things; sleeping pills, cup of tea, pictures, and an alarm clock. I never understood why I had to let the ink dry before I made a clear understanding of my words.
My mind is growing faster then my body and I am afraid that I will die at a young age. All my life I have rushed certain things, I now understand to show patience is growth. I believe I have it written somewhere “My age will be ageless to me and what I have experience and learned will not depend on the next candle placed on my birthday cake.”
The light bleeds in the corner of yesterdays events and my words desolate in mid air. The scent of everything brings back my empty promises. The set list in my notebook takes up space and time. The bleak obstructed plans I have built myself will all crumble down in the mist of a cloudy day. No matter how much it will rain on me I will continue to tilt my head towards the sun breaking free from the clouds. I am that sun struggling to shed light on everyone. I am that moon that keeps you up at night and reminds you of how beautiful you are. I am those diamonds that I have cried throughout my life. I am that unidentified word that no one will ever remember. I am that blast of fresh air that is always trying to achieving something unexplainable. I am that blanket of stars that wrap each and everyone that dares to wish upon it.
They say that human beings will never be more then dead compost rotting underground when they die. They say we are crazy to dream and pray to the beauty of the night. If I am still here telling you my story, maybe it isn’t as crazy as they make it out to be.

Heartbeat Aftermath...

If I rhyme what could be the last fragment of my soul, would it make you happy?Do my cryptic words form some type of hope for you?Is that what you search for, as if I were a Bible in the bottom of a h...

Keep It Loose...

This is all I see.The ground underneath me trembles in fear with every step I take.How to I let it all fall without consequences?I guess the departed is more painful then rusted silver moonlight.The k...

I had to let the words sink in before my body went numb.My jaw hovered in which could've been an awe.I stared blankly at the screen and read the words carelessly.My arms broke-out in hives of shiver a...
