Drowning in darkness
Perpetual night
Swimming in blackness
Absence of light
Awaken
Fruitless struggle
Every trial I face
Leads me right back
To this shadowy place
Awaken

Unbearable pain
Running full throttle
To ease my discomfort
I dive into the bottle

Joining the WordPress community is one of the best things I’ve ever done. What started out as a project turned into a creative outlet which then turned into an entire community of supportive people who have traveled similar paths to my own and have offered their support and advice. Most importantly, they’ve offered their ears and let me rant and rave about what ails me and my psyche. For that, I am eternally grateful.
Before last October, I didn’t really share much of myself on my blog. I wrote fiction, some poetry, and ranted a lot about whatever was pissing me off in the news. When my shit hit the fan a community of bloggers showed up to offer me encouragement and share their stories. It was both very unexpected and extremely welcome. I was shocked to find such a supportive community conjure itself up from nowhere.

It’s time for another episode of Prompts for the Promptless, brought to you by the ever creative Rawrasaur. Yay!! I’ve had my first cup of coffee already and I’m ready to go!
Over the last nine months I’ve been remaking something very near and dear to me. I discovered that something was very broken and didn’t work quite the way I wanted it to. I didn’t always have complete control of that thing, yet didn’t realize it until it was forcefully pointed out to me. Then, the broken thing became shattered, and that’s when I knew I had to work hard to put this thing back together again, but not in the same way it had been put together before.
That thing was me. Continue reading »

I debated with myself on whether or not I wanted to post this and the banter between me, myself, and I was quite entertaining. In the end, though, I concluded that this is MY fucking blog and I’ll post what I want on it.
So, having said that, let me set up the story then I’ll get to my rant.
Yesterday, I published a rather provocative poetic duet that I had co-authored with the talented Miss Hasty. Not long after I published this post a comment appeared on the post from one Superbitch, whom some of you may remember as my wife. She’s my estranged wife now, and we’ve been separated pretty much since Valentine’s Day. By the way, if there’s a more inopportune time to tell someone you don’t want to be married to them other than Valentine’s Day, I’m not sure when that is.

Mind depressed
Substance ingest
Cardiac arrest
Permanent rest.
Chest compressions
In cadent successions
Are met with rejections
Just please call the time.
False exhalation
Meet fake inhalation
No respiration
Just please call the time.
The setting so peaceful
The feeling so blissful
It all is so stable
T.O.D. is…

One day I took a glance in the mirror
And my vision began to come clearer
I wasn’t happy at all to see
This horribly angry reflection of me

Hi again. I normally don’t do the daily prompt as I like to think I can pull something creative from the part of my brain that isn’t filled with fog. Snobby? Not really, considering I managed to insult myself in the same sentence. Anyway, it was more work than I planned to do. I clicked into my reader, then the third post which only had two sentences (thanks Alastair 
), and finally the link to the blog of sharing me myself and I. The gem I found was worth the effort. Continue reading »

I’m kinda feeling down today and wasn’t planning on posting today, but with enough coffee in me now I’m feeling a bit better and realized I needed to do a YouTube Tuesday post. Well, I guess I don’t need to, but in order for me to not feel like a total slacker/loser/hack I do need to.
I could think of no other theme this week other than doing another playlist. And I can’t even think of a theme for my playlist. I’m so lame today. So here goes. Oh, I guess I could throw the logo in here somewhere. Continue reading »
