Biography

I strongly enjoy writing and poetry. Life is hard as is, this is my way i personalize it. I enjoy connecting with people through writing. Having my own voice via writing is powerful. And those who relate brings me comfort, as does relating to others through poetry. I want to better my writing as well. Practice practice practice.

what if my concept of love doesn’t exist what if i’m the only person to protest my heart and desires does it matter that i can love with everything in me and expect nothing back does it completely go against being human - for being human means selfishness my selfish act is to demand to be loved in one way to one person i can’t get this out of my head i want a love that’s special but different the word unique is just a word i want authentic i want a love that baffles me to the bone i want to see someone trip over my smile i want the importance of connection to still have a matter to see more than each of your flaws as i count your breaths with my own i won’t be your rock but your hand to hold thru it all i want to feel the heat grow in my cheeks as you come to my thoughts i want to be clumsy when your voice says my name i want it all with you with nothing to gain with no tricks up your sleeve i want the realness of us to have a third space only you and i can reach a space that is safe for us to be us a love with fire that fules up our adrenaline a feeling that makes us extraordinary a concept of love that we can understand a beautiful story to be told a fairytale that i can live as my own a concept for love that has meaning and depth a concept that never settles for less my soul craves something different not how today’s love unfolds a lasting, never ending feeling of butterflies and excitement this concept of love i maintained even as a child
