Nobody. Obliviously. Wins.

On the top of the staircase

her heart crashes against her ribs
the beats get faster
and still nothing has changed.
Frustrated, hurt, and confused
she images punching the wall.  
Would it hurt? 
Would the bloody, mangled, and bruised knuckles give her anger meaning? 
Would the persecution, doubt, and belittlement of others prove to be more than “good intentions”? 
Would the scares make a difference? 
So many thoughts,
the world seems to turn faster.
She has no idea where to step,
or what to do.
Right or wrong? 
I’m still singing that stupid, 
damn song. 
You lied and she believed you.
You claimed innocence,
she wants out….N.O.W.

expanding my audience is crucial for a writer to grow. I started writing poetry and fell in love with the forms, the intensity of description, and the craft. Fiction has allowed me to elaborate on the story, characters, and plot standing and hiding behind the words of a poem. Both have taught me the agony, the blood and sweat, and even aggravation behind each piece of writing. As Walt Whitman describes it, "A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibilities of their own souls." I started writing because of life's heartbreaks, beauties, in-be-tweens, and as a way of expressing what isn’t said. A piece of paper never judges an idea or an identity. A reader searches for themselves, because behind the words are experiences, thoughts, emotion, intention. A description can ignite a memory. Writing surpasses all boundaries between age, generation, and human nature. The more I write the more I begin to notice how impossible it is for life and fiction to be separated, they both influence one another; life and creativity, life and imagination. Life and fiction as ideas are different for each individual. We all live, we all create. "The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." -Sylvia Plath. So, ask yourself, “Life or fiction?” "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." -Albert Einstein I am passionately curious what you think.
