My luck has been my greatest asset because it has kept me alive, if only just. / / I write because I love creating something that other people enjoy. / / Ideally I want to raise the bar but I'm not that good. / / I try to remain as sincere as possible so don't be surprised when I say something like: There's only so many times you can rhyme ME with YOU SEE before you aught to consider trying harder next time. / / Adult poets have no excuse for writing like they're twelve year old middle American suburbanites with NO talent or vision beyond their home stretch. No offense 12 year olds. At some point you have to think "Should I try being original and honest?" / / Seriously, I'm tired of people trying to be dead poets. It's tired and old. It's time we started being real and tried representing our true vision of reality rather than this fanciful charade that we formulated using propaganda from our mindless youth.
