Favorite Quote:
I used to have a handle on life but it broke | You can't wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a sword | You don't have to think to be a writer, you just have to sit at a typewriter and bleed

You may be close to me,
but that doesn't mean you know,
this mask of shadows I hide behind,
You know me for being happy,
without knowing my pain,
I do well at hiding it,
from everyone I know,

My problems aren't traumatic,
but numerous to any extent,
You may think you know me,
but You just see my mask
