I’m a 25 year-old married atheist.  I’m attending college online and will soon have a Bachelors in Sociology.    I love being with my son Leo, reading, writing, photography, astronomy, psychology, and pretty much everything in life except rude, insensitive people.  But you’ll learn more about me from reading my work than you will from anything I could ever put in here, so get to it!

If you like any of my work, please take a look at the other, less popular ones too.  I’d like to get reviews on everything!

Poetry / Time
Version 1
0 Reviews   0 Comments
Time, Just stop. Please. Can I just have one day, one hour even, without your expectations, your constraints, your pressures, your limitations? But time persists. Time is tirelessly determined. No amount of begging, bribing, or pleading can get in the way of time. He is unwavering. Compromise is not a concept that time is concerned with. Time is reliable, time is unfaltering. Time is the one thing you can rely on. But time is not sensitive to your needs. Time is not sympathetic. Time does not...

Poetry / The War in My Head
Version 1
0 Reviews   0 Comments
The war in my head Is constant. And it is a bloody one, Filled with bitterness and rage; Both sides are well equipped In armor and ammunition. Societies ideals Battling my innate instinct. Many ideals have become casualties In the war of “me vs. myself”, Only to be resurrected later, Limping, Leaning on the shoulder of insecurity, Such a loyal friend. All things considered, This looks to a war that is never-ending; No deaths have yet been recorded, Only serious injuries. Only m...

Poetry / Transport Vessel

What is a dick anyway? A mere tool, useful only when erect, some might say; a transport vessel; its passengers on the ultimate mission: the inception of life.

Poetry / Nostalgia
Version 1
1 Review   0 Comments
That used to be us - before any of this mattered - bass booming, cruising through the neighborhood at midnight, care-free, burden-free, and free-spirited. Nowadays, our spirits, while still free, have found a comfortable spot and settled a bit. Tonight, while we hear the free spirits pass by with their vibrations, nostalgia finds its way into our bed, where our little family is trying to sleep.

Poetry / The Mother of a Little Boy
Version 1
1 Review   0 Comments
That feeling rushes through my stomach and tears run down my cheeks as I look down at his precious face and realize that I can't stop time. I can't stop him from growing, from not being my wonderful little boy anymore from becoming a man. Sometimes, worse than anything else in the world, I want him to stay how he is. I don't want him to grow out of our bond. He will surely find a good woman someday and over time I will be nudged, though not on purpose, into second place. I will no longer be t...

Poetry / The Devil is a Friend of Mine
by bulletwithbutterflywings
Amazing. I love the short lines; it feels quick yet it hold so much. I love that it's unapologetic; you've accepted that you've sold your soul; what's done is done. I love the first four lines especially, and this as well: "my heart like a ship, in black waters it sank". I like the visual that I get from that. This is now on my favorites list! Don't change a thing about it.
Horror / Things That Crawl in the Night
by trouten_m
Really good work. I could envision everything as I was reading it; I felt as though I had gone through all the actions when I was done reading. It's spooky, though. The first thing that came to my mind was someone being abused or molested, waking up from a dream about it to realize that it wasn't just a dream, it's that scary in real life as well. If this is close to what it's about, you did a wonderful job of telling the story in a poetic way. My favorite lines in the poem are: "Back to a wa...
Humor/Satire / I Am Anonymous (look me up and see)
by Anonymous
Very creative! I was smiling while I was reading it. I agree, though - people need to step up and claim what they've written!! Good or bad, be proud of your work! Love this piece; it's going on my favorites list. Don't change a thing; it's perfect.

Poetry / Untittled
by keebler_elf_79
I'm not sure if you meant to say "Mend my scares" or if it was really meant to say "Mend my scars" - hopefully the latter. I like the line "Tears stain worse than blood". I don't like the line "No love to behold" - I don't like that there is a rhyme stuck in the middle of a poem that doesn't rhyme, but that's simply a personal preference. Other than those few things, this is great work. It's very clear, to the point, and easy to understand. It gave me a sense of sadness, which is probably exa...
