"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is never gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that" - R.Balboa Driven by poetic compulsion... "I took pain, and put it into words.
I took those words and made them into art.
These are the pieces of my soul,
artistically painted for the world to see ..." "The pen that holds the power,
is not the pen itself -
It is the mind that drives the madness" "These words are my pain, my envy
my sadness, my loss
my passion, my heart
my weakness, my strength
my demise and everything in between.
These words are the key to my freedom" I am a poet, an artist, a dreamer and a creator of all things stemming from the imagination. Artistic expression is the key to who I am, without it I would be like a caged bird. All of the pictures above are of my work, I have written over 300 poems to date. I also play piano and compose music, but poetry has been and will always be my main focus. I am not like everyone else, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I take pride in my talent and my gift. I have been inspired by Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Dylan Thomas, Edgar Allen Poe, Anne Rice, Marilyn Manson, and many others. I love paintings, sculptures and everything in between. Museums are my favorite places to go, they never cease to fascinate me. I read a lot because I believe that feeding your mind is essential and important, I do consider myself to be intelligent and I am not ashamed of it. Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω
