A Dire Call for Catharsis
I have messed up so much in my life. I have missed opportunities, and I have succumb to the same cycle that has consumed me for as long as I have breathed. At 23, my life should be more than it is. And it's my fault, I know. I've let fear judge my life; I've let it steer be in a cycle of concrete repeat. I've lost God. I don't go to ( Read more... ) -
Phoenix
I have become
a barren desert.
My soul,
neither quenched or quiet,
lay lost:
An oasis in obscurity.
The heat; the waves
of pouring flame
saturates the skin-
a solid sponge.
Like clay in a kiln,
the body withers-
a carcass bone-dry-
cleaved from the mind
by the searing air.
Ubiquitous sting,
incessant,
piercing.
Splitting skin,
cracks cover the surface.
Hands bleed,

Emily's Irony
Emily lived well with her two parents and four siblings. In a two-story home within the city, there Emily dwelled with her mother, father, two brothers, and two sisters. Hardly ever did Emily fight with her parents nor her brothers and sisters; indeed, they lived as the quintessential family should. As for her parents, they loved each ( Read more... ) -
To Desire Ambition
Further I descend into the depths of oblivion. Farther I travel into obscurity. I am shrouded by shadow; a mist as thick as fear. Apathy corrupts the soul. It is because of apathy that we become what we never intended to be. I slip into solitude, deceived by the sweetness of desire. The apple dazzles a vibrant red, its alluring appeal ( Read more... ) -
Title
I am different, yet I haven't really changed at all. This past winter has had many ups and downs. First, for several months I was quite scared to drive from point A to point B. I found school this past semester to probably be the most challenging ever, yet I only took two classes (Technically three but I literally panicked on the first ( Read more... ) -

SAD
I was hoping to express my current agonies by metaphorical means; however, I haven't been able to write creatively lately. Sadly, I can't even listen to those two words without a knot forming in my stomach. Creative Writing. It's what I have signed up for, but somedays I don't know if I truly want to be known as a Creative Writing major: ( Read more... ) -
Monotony and the Unexpected Inevitability
After four months of the same routine day in and day out, the Fall semester is finally coming to a close. It's about time too, because the monotony is beginning to get to me; however, not only the monotony of a single semester, but the monotony of a couple of years at Delta College. The more enjoyable days there occurred long, long ago, but ( Read more... ) -
Invigorate
Can you hear the soft strum of numerous strings? Can you hear the brass, loud yet clear, producing a foreboding hum of bass. Can you hear the choir, pristine and serene, aided by a soprano that soars beyond the seas and skies. Ah, I can only be listening to music from the Lord of the Rings. Quite orderly, I must also be watching the Lord ( Read more... ) -
A New Beginning
If I'm reading the date of the last post correctly, it seems that the last time I updated was in August. Where have I been all of this time? You know, I don't really know what has driven me away from Livejournal; perhaps I haven't had anything to talk about. Well that may have been the case these past four months, but I think I'm ready to ( Read more... )
