These Insufficient Words
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. -Robert Frost This is my own collection of thoughts. My own stories, through the deepest sorrow and highest peaks of happiness I've had in my rather brief life, and some that others may also be able to relate to. Sometimes, words are insufficient. Sometimes, they're too accurate to emotionally bear. Sometimes, they're what provokes the deepest part of your soul. You be the judge on how poetry affects you. You read; I just tell the stories. #thecosmicawards2018Complete

Organized Chaos - These are My Thoughts
No, These are not poems. So flimsy a thing as can be called a few words on a page. These are thoughts. Paper thoughts, broken and scattered and gone like the wind. Iron anvil thoughts, never leaving though it is all I can ever ask of them. Invisible thoughts, hidden behind a wall put up not only for protection from the outside, but to protect the outside from the chaos within. These are thoughts. ~~~~ An anthology of all-original poems, written by me. Don't steal my ideas please, because that's just rude. If one of these poems inspired you to write something, please lemme know and if it's really really similar then I might ask for credit. Otherwise, just don't be an idiot. Hope you enjoy!Complete
