To the sensitive
- the psychic, the medium,
the pain of the world ...
well, tis a real thing
- a constant pain, a niggle
the savagery of pain
of hunger and thirst,
of poverty and despair,
dulled by distance
and the soup
of other life energies
to that of an aching tooth.
To the others
the poisoned tooth's
still there,
but dulled to oblivion
by shields of denial.

Creative writing (poetry, short stories, photographs, and sketches) of an amateur (who will be staying as such). [Content Warning] As a form of self therapy I "write out" my negative experiences states, mostly in my poems, and then go on with life. Also, my poems and short stories may be commentaries on the flaws of society, so both may be about distressing or upsetting matters. Reader discretion is advised for my poetry and short stories.

near a score of years ago,
when I let society tell me
which way I should go.
Now I have sacrificed
all that was good in me,
- gone
on the altar of conformance.
Better, would have been,
to drown offshore
before I came ashore.
