...ESSAYWHUMAN?!?!

About Me

I dig Music (duh). TOO complex (or contradictory) for many, understood by few. Here and/or/not There. Superficial n Painfully Introspective in the same breath. Songwriter. Poet. Somebody's Mama. Inspired by Artists, The Obscure, Revolutionaries, Struggle, Passion, Black Panthers. *Smart, Street, Creative, Imperfection, Complex, Musical, Passionate = My Soul Mate* ...I love biology words like "Cytoplasm" and "Endoplasmic Reticulum". Im Random as hell... ..
