All it takes is 20 seconds on insane courage, just 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great will come of it.


Too many times we're standing, pondering

Often times we're standing pondering, paralyzed and wondering.

Those times that were wasted, utterly faceless,

give new meaning to why love is courageous.

I almost wrote this by accident. I wanted to get something down on paper because I'm submitting a few pieces of work to an Arts high school with the hope of getting in. But each time I read this poem I relate to it more and more and I hope you will too.

Thou may think of me as desired, to idolize or villanize me whichever you may choose. but gaze upon me and thou sall not see the husk of a man! for all my sins and all my bliss, i am anything but hollow

very quaint, you have this unique multi-dimentional writing style, at first glance it seems very single sided but you discover so much more upon the second read. it's... how do I say... a rarity in the poems I've read!
