Father's DayI've had the hardest time trying to be a man, the one my father taught me to be. I never understood why he was always so tired, but now I've been searching for sleep for the past three years.

My Autumn SunflowerYou remind me of the fall, when I don't mind spending my days sitting in the shade. With my coffee and smoke, I spend all my time thinking about all of the days to come. / With you, I can smell the leaves that fall so the trees can get ready for winter. / The amber, melon, and dusk rainbow that blows across our view.

UntitledThe West is drowning in vanity. / The East is lost to greed. / If only the middle was a content place.
