Each time the drive is suicide:
stepping into the chamber
and pushing the trigger to the floor,
blowing my heart
all over the inside of my chest,
and leaving me a little less
than when I arrived.
I know I’ll do it again,
over and over
until I can finally stop the charade,
the cyclical life I lead
between two worlds
that’s both damning and amazing,
the pull of parallel universe.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
