you may not like my style of writing, i really don't give a damn...but what writing does for me, no one can change... it has helped me through my darkest moments and frankly you cant take that away, no matter how many negative things you say... you may think my poetry is too dark and flowing with self-hatred, it may be but, this is my view point, not yours. i hope my writing can do something for you, if not then don't read it, its not for you. like i said, writing helps me out a lot because pieces of me, lay six feet under in three different burial plots... this may or may not have affected my outcome in life...one can never tell... this is my only way to vent... if you like me add me to your favs, if you don't, ignore me

"They say writing is a way of healing

Isn't it a bit like inviting death?
Do you still exist or only on paper?
Silent words
Hidden meanings
The reader asks no questions
As the writer is no more"
~Blooten~



"And hope whispered to the sadness: From now on you shall not walk alone. I will accompany you!"



"I'll do the very best I know how- the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference."

~Abraham Lincoln~

Fire in My Heart, Ice in My Veins

Word of your death greeted me like
A wave of despair
Drowning out a bonfire of hope-
The fire in my heart gave way to the ice in my veins.
Your d
