Favorite Quote:
Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation. -Graham Green

As I lied on my
Back atop my
Cotton candy
bed sheets

I contemplated
Life
And
Death

And came to find
Without surprise
That neither

Appealed to me.

The last few lines of this poem are my favorite; they wrap everything up nicely and I feel like many people can relate to that exact feeling. You're really great, I love your writing style :)
