I'm a young creative with a passion for poetry and penchant for dark humor. Here you'll find all sorts of writing, the bulk of which are poetry. Of course you'll find other writings here as well. I occasionally write short stories, articles and anime related content. Feel free to look around and by all means comment or leave a like if you enjoy what you've read.

Ain’t I somebody? Don’t my blood count for nothing? Can’t I be a man without ya dogging me? Can’t I holler like the horns in the big band when the song gets real good? Can’t I stand up real tall daring the world to bring me down? Don’t I deserve to believe life ain’t just [...]

You’re allowed to dream in color ya know? And you don’t have to belong to the hands that hurt you. Gnawing. Gnashing. Kisses taste like pennies these days And hugs are far too intimate Prodding.
