I am not sure why I often struggle with writing ‘right’ when I constantly tell myself that I don't write for other people's concurrence. But as Picasso said “The chief enemy of creativity is ‘good’ sense,” I have grown to learn that my creative medium is not black or white, good or bad. Instead, it is a middle ground, imperfect, and depicts me and my complex thoughts. Perhaps that is why poetry brings me joy. It is an escape from reality. Nobody craves perfection like it is the only thing that makes it valuable.

starving
this nation, fabricated upon their broken spines, yet still, they gait on fragmented glass. besought for their valedictory draught, before the lynch with a knee, "THUGS" you, merely afraid, "looting starts, shooting starts" to resist the monster of your own making

my tragic war cry;
for ecstasy laid as erstwhile reminiscence, new dawn brims of rhapsodic agony, acute misery, yet hope, a concept I am foolish to believe, shines through bars of the plight screaming 'remember'

for my heart has been starved of love, my body has become starved of food
