check the silent falling sunrise
alone and gentle breathing can't be easy
it matters to something I believe I should do
now our lives are precious
this emptiness will hurt like drowning
go crazy and walk away fading
no more persuading will make emotion
when you walk the world keeps turning
the hours are more time
and I know I need drowning
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.
