"beneath these eyes" is another weird one (honestly, all my writing is strange it's had multiple titles (including the title 'creatures' which i teased on instagram), a lot of rewrites, and has taken the longest to write. i found myself struggling to come up with ideas. at times i was so frustrated with writing that i contemplated restarting the whole project. i felt a lot of self doubt with my writing. i didn't feel it was good enough, or good at all. this book was also written during a very rough time in my life, which inspired several pieces in here.
enough about that; what's the book about?
well, a lot. the title really sets up the theme; everyone has something to hide and everyone is different inside. everyone's got a different 'them' inside their mind, one that outsiders cannot see. this book is about learning that there's two sides to everything, even a person.
hope you enjoy.

Dancing with Tears In My Eyes
An account of true life, but not as you know it. A modern day college that harbours a dark secret lurks undetected in the last place you expect to find it. The teachers all know, but they choose to ignore it. The students have no idea- they are all blinded by the charms and sophistication of having a much younger teacher than they had expected. he might have been fresh out of university, young and naïve, but that does not mean he is not capable of hurting others. *** Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's five and I'm driving home again It's hard to believe that it's my last time The man on the wireless cries again "It's over, it's over" Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's late and I'm with my love alone We drink to forget the coming storm We love to the sound of our favourite song Over and over Dancing with tears in my eyes Living out a memory of a love that died It's time and we're in each others arms It's time but I don't think we really care Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes Weeping for the memory of a life gone by Dancing with tears in my eyes...

Odd Religion
"Odd Religion" is my most unapologetic piece of work I've created so far. This raw and unfiltered poetry and prose book encapsulates my poor judgement, my inability to say what I mean, my fears, my hopes and dreams, my secrecy, my honesty, my hatred, my love, it encapsulates me and everything in between. Though "religion" is in the title, don't let that fool you. The only thing praised in this book is the war between my body and mind. This book uses strong references towards christianity and religion but it's done in a metaphorical way - some may call it mockery, but I can promise you my intention is not to poke fun at any religion. Throughout the writing of this book I kept telling myself it's just words that mean nothing to anyone but me, but I hope you can tear this book apart with your own meaning and interpretation. If you're confused, let yourself wonder, if you're lost let yourself wander.Complete
