This is my 22nd published book. I think perhaps it is time to take about it when everything has gone very wrong. I’m still trying to pick up the pieces, but nothing has changed. The circumstances are still not what they should be. Even though I’m in a place where it doesn’t much matter what I do, I would still rather do something than nothing at all. I’m not going down without a fight.
Here’s a poem from the new book. It was inspired by what I didn’t do when I was younger and was expected to. Also inspired by Aradia’s song “On Fire”. @AradiasMusic
Fire
I had
the sparks
of creativity
as just a child.
I played
with them.
The sparks
ignited.
Now, I’m
on fire.
There is
nothing
I can do
to put
out the fire
now
without
killing myself.
Yet,
I’m told
it’s a failure
on my part
to not put
out the fire
of creativity
and become
normal.
Just like
everyone else.
