Moi-même en quelques mots

My photo
I'm 20. I'm a studio art major, arts management/art history minor at a college in upstate New York.
Help me learn about the world and those who inhabit it.
I enjoy learning new things about people and the issues they deal with everyday.

Enlighten me and broaden my horizons.
Maybe I can return the favor.

My baby, Maggie <3

New poem & Thanksgivingness


So, it being thanksgiving I should be thankful for something...

  • My momma & Dad
  • My friends; new & old
  • Learning lessons that are improving my life



Wrote this yesterday =]


Finding my faith

If I fall would you pick me up?
If I trip on a pebble and skin my knee
is it rub some dirt on it or sweet kisses?

faith is a funny thing
it can be a binding or a liberator

I need a key to set me free.
a rusty, bronze key, with intricate filigree
with a leather strap held about your wrist, oh one I haven't acknowledge in years
I'm all wrapped up, on layers upon layers
of  dirty cotton cloth like a mummy who has been dead for centuries
and still the smug smile has yet to be wiped from her face.
centuries.

I think I've been dead for centuries too, just trying in vain be alive again

shaking, and stained from the years I spent sipping from your filthy cup
I'm forsaking others
and traveling down a new road, gravel flying up as I drive these horses faster down this lane, blazing.

faith.
like black wings against an over cast sky
I hear the ominous flapping of broken wings
trying to lift off the ground
a poor little fledgling, desperately trying to escape the jaws
of a ferocious canine, oh how liberating it is to hear
the heartbeat of mine as I soon know I'll be taken away
and feel no pain.

I want to know how many days I have left.
I want to feel those seconds ticking away, then I can relay it onto you
I'll be liberated by my seconds, I will live without human love, and bask  purely in the earth and those who control her.

I don't need you, or anything you say.
Your words are like empty cans to my starving heart.
It's nothing, you're nothing, I don't need any of this.
I need no one.

Let me find my faith in God, Buddha, or whoever I want.
But, it will not be in a human such as you, men.
