Recycled-Remission
I tell myself each day I breathe, “Fall back this is wack!!!”: Stop living in the Past, you gotta just stop treading back. Why continue to love one who don’t even love you back? I keep reminding myself, “Just chill, and stay Trill”: When Others are Fake, you just have to stay Real. Don’t kill… Continue reading

Ambitious Aspirations
Shirley Bishop, a very talented writer, in my opinion, has decided that she will embark upon her own writing project, a poetry book. I was very interested in getting to know more about her project, what inspired her to do so & what she hopes to make of it. Here’s her, in her own words,… Continue reading

“Shine”
A feeling divine The light sets behind the pines A pack of wolves whine Hunting has its time The old country doesn’t mind Something undefined A natural lust Hunger wants us to survive Moths all turn to dust Drugs turn men to crime Words left dead without a rhyme Murder the despised Turning to the… Continue reading

My Solace from Chaos
I’m constantly lambasted by hardship… …as adversity strikes just like a whip… …I’m completely lost in the Forests of trials & uncertainty… …as the Wolves of deception just hunt after me tirelessly… …I’m surrounded by Dessert, as my barren hopes & dreams, carried away from my reach, by the Winds of Providence… …I came to… Continue reading

I live Life with no Filter:
I’m unrefined, unpolished…after an earthquake, demolished…I’m the raw substance. I’m uncouth, aloof…sarcastic thru the roof…but, at the same time, I’m totally honest. There’s no foundation on my surface, to hide my bruises that I’ve attained in my life. There’s no shield, that is used, to conceal what I’ve experienced, by trials and strife. From toy… Continue reading

Imaginative-Reasoning:
Imagine a Chessboard, without pieces… …or, a Dissertation, without a Thesis. What if the Homeo had no stasis… …the World’s weather no phases? Try to picture the Arctic-Circle, with no Ice-Caps… …and, all of the Animals extinct, not coming back. Let’s think of a Planet without compliance… …filled with hypocrisy, apathy and violence. Be warned,… Continue reading

The Results of a Broken-Home: When Someone feels they’re all-alone
Author’s note: Neghena Hamidi, a young, new, literary-artist, has graced my blogpage, with a very endearing poem, about the ill-effects of a pathological homelife-experience. The piece itself is very captivating, describing, in detail, how someone may, and sadly, often, ends up, as a result of negativity in their lives, from home. I walked past both… Continue reading
